We are the Dyspraxia Champions!

Book excerpt: If you're dyspraxic, you might struggle with things like balance, being messy or breaking things, or even spatial awareness. But dyspraxic kids also have lots of talents and strengths. In this book you will meet different dyspraxic children who can do amazing things. You might recognise some of these strengths as things that you can do too! Some dyspraxic children have excellent memories, some are super flexible, some love making their friends laugh, or have brilliant imaginations, some are great at focusing really hard, and some have loads of energy, and bounce off the walls! Each character also shares things that you can ask grown-ups to do to support you, like giving you exercises to strengthen your body, setting routines at school and home to help with your anxiety, aids to help with handwriting, and allowing fidget toys or doodling to help you focus. This book also provides guidance for parents and teachers, with advice on how they can support children with suspected or diagnosed dyspraxia at home or in the classroom, and provides further resources and bonus content.
