Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today there are more children than ever before in need of a variety of additional support needs, and many of these children have poor movement as a key contributory factor. Even in children with no specific ‘label’, movement is being found to be linked to learning, and educational professionals need to understand what is amiss and how to support children who do not meet their motor milestones at the correct time. The brand new topic areas featured in this comprehensive and practical new edition include: a discussion of terminology and labelling (in light of current inclusion guidelines) a range of age specific activities a section on the neurology of dyspraxia, showing the motor pathways that are energised and define motor competence a greater emphasis on balance, coordination and control examples from children of how movement is dependent on planning, sequencing and organising more practical activities that can form the basis of a programme to support the children. Practical strategies are provided throughout this authoritative book, so that teachers and other professionals can identify and understand movement difficulties, are empowered to support the children, and work effectively with the parents.
Book Synopsis Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder by : David Sugden
Download or read book Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder written by David Sugden and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2005-01-28 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The term Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is used to describe a group of children who have difficulty. with tasks involving movement such that it interferes with their daily living or academic progress. As with other developmental disorders such as autistic spectrum disorder, attention deficit disorder and dyslexia, DCD is now a prominent concern of both researchers and practitioners. This text is aimed at both researchers and professionals who work in a practical manner with the condition and includes professionals in health, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, health visitors, paediatricians, and - in the educational field - teachers and others who are in daily contact with the children - their parents. The essence of the text is that work with children should be guided by research evidence driving the clinical practice which in turn raisies more questions for research. The authors in this text have both experience in research and are engaged in the day-to-day clinical work with children and bring both of these to bear in the chapters they have written.

Book Synopsis Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) by : Laura Graham
Download or read book Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) written by Laura Graham and published by How to Help. This book was released on 2021-12 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part of the How to Help series of books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at home and at school, Developmental Coordination Disorder (Dyspraxia) offers a complete introduction to this complex and often misunderstood topic. DCD (historically sometimes called 'dyspraxia', although this term lacks any formal criteria) is a frequently under-detected condition that chiefly affects physical coordination but also impacts on many other areas of life. It is often seen as an 'enigma' due to the lack of clear consensus regarding definitions and terminology. Seeking to dispel myths about DCD, to improve understanding and to point the way to greater independence and participation for those affected, Sue LLoyd and Laura Graham explore the issues, challenges and experiences commonly faced by a young person with DCD - and how parents, carers, teachers and schools can help.
