I've seen lots aimed at parents but none aimed at children so far. I need something suitable for a 7 year old. Many thanks.

I haven't read this but I have seen it on the Dyscovery Centre website
Jack and the disorganised dragon . (scroll down the page a bit to find it.) Is that the sort of thing you want?

Stephen Harris in Trouble by Tim Nichol is a book aimed at dyspraxic children. I've got it for my 10 year old DS. Also I recently took one out at the local library but can't remember the name of it aimed at even younger children. Ask in the childrens' section of your library. Its called something like "I'm Dyspraxic"!! Original title I know!

That's not quite what I'm looking for Saker but I think it would be good for DD anyway so I will get that one. That's exactly what I'm after Tulips, I'll see if the library can help. Thank you both for your help

Hi,
Just wondering if Happy Cat Books do one. I got one about Dyslexia called Dyslexia - Talking It Through for my 7yr old. It has cartoons and is written from a kid's perspective. The author is Althea (surname Braithwaite but doesn't use it). I think she may write on other subjects - so might be worth a try.
