Re: Developmental Coordination Disorder or Dyspraxia

I don't know of books but I've heard good things about NACD

www.nacd.org or Little Giant steps. There is a mom on CK2 who started

her son at age 11 and he had great results. I know other moms with

younger kids who have good results as well.

This is out of my budget, but it looks interesting. To anybody who is

interested, you pay a membership (after an initial evaluation) and

they re-evaluate your child every 3 months and train the parents how

to do all the therapy, which is designed to be daily. As well as

that, they are " on-call " for questions, advice and further training

material in between the evaluations. Basically, they think it is more

effective to train parents to work with their child every day than to

have a traditional OT/PT/ST work with your child once or twice a week.
