My Friend Josh has Dyspraxia - Paperback

by Christine R. Draper (Author), Ruth-Abigail Williams (Editor), Antonella Cammarano (Illustrator)

A picture book to help children understand dyspraxia. Narrated by a friend, the book talks about how dyspraxia affects Josh at school and at home.

Dyspraxia is a common condition that affects a child's coordination as well as organisation and processing. This simple book explains dyspraxia, using a child narative. While it explains the difficulties encountered by a dyspraxic child it recognises that all children with dyspraxia are different and is written in a positive narrative. This is an ideal book for parents or teachers to use to explain what dyspraxia is and how it affects a classmate, friend or family member.

The author has a son with dyspraxia and it was written in consultation with a number of other parents of dyspraxic children.
