The best book I have read in dyspraxia

Making inclusion work for children with dyspraxia. Practical strategies for teachers.
By gill Dixon and Louis addy

It should be teachers and parents! It really has given me a much better understanding of DS - it has explained why he behaves certain ways - and that it is because of dyspraxia.
If you have a child with dyspraxia I highly, highly recommend it.

Will have a look - thanks
Was in on a meeting the other day and teachers and other staff were talking about the EP's report on a child. Obvious sensory issues, dyspraxia issues, ASD issues, but the advice was rubbish, everyone agreed. Most of the strategies had already been tried, and others impractical due to his own safety.
Very few ideas were forthcoming, so I mentioned a few from The Out Of Synch Child Has Fun. I was met with blank faces. I have now taken in my copies for staff to read. Sometimes it's the best way to educate them

I loved the out of sync child - but it is very heavy going, and the senco at DS's school eyes glazed over when I was talking about it.
The above book is really approachable, a straightforward read - DH said that every one of DS's teachers need to read the first section.... I told him he could organise that

I've taken it as my mission in life to "educate" all of them with the " I'm a teacher, I know about SEN, one-size fits all" attitude.
Hopefully, some of it will stick!
Disclaimer to this is that there are a few really good and knowledgeable staff, a few no knowledge but willing to listen staff, and a few that I don't think I'll ever get through to!
