Hello, I am looking for some feedback on an idea to help children with DCD or dyspraxia.
Working in education I have seen many children with DCD or dyspraxia. I have taught them in PE classes amongst 30+ other children, and often said to myself 'if only they had their own little group'. I went off to do a further qualification in developmental disorders.
Sadly PE provision in this country is shocking IMO, and children with DCD or dyspraxia don't get the teaching they need. I am looking at setting up a weekly class in my area, just for children with DCD or dyspraxia. The class would focus on key motor skills and primarily be fun. The aim would be to eventually push the children towards another physical activity - be it for competition or just for fun / recreation.
Basically I am after the views of parents with children who have DCD or dyspraxia. Is this something you would use, anything in particular you would advise?
Thank you in advance!
