| Summary |
"Adolescence is tricky at the best of times, let alone for an individual with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD), also known as dyspraxia. Amanda Kirby, Medical Director of the Dyscovery Centre and the mother of a DCD child herself, addresses the main difficulties encountered by adolescents with DCD, including building relationships and coping with secondary school. With a common sense approach she provides a series of practical ideas on how individuals can tackle these difficulties, making The Adolescent with Developmental Co-ordination Disorder an essential resource for adolescents with DCD, as well as parents, teachers and health professionals."--BOOK JACKET |
