The book shows how challenges can extend into every aspect of school life, from learning to write and use scissors, to managing self-care tasks, joining in playground games and forming friendships. Drawing upon the voices of dyspraxic children and adults, it unpicks myths and misconceptions before providing a wealth of evidence-based strategies to support independence, confidence and behaviour in the classroom. Chapters cover:
Early identification and support to help learners thrive from the start.
Recognising strengths often overlooked in traditional classroom settings.
Strategies for developing handwriting, fine motor skills and self-care tasks like managing belongings and using cutlery.
Guidance on technology use and sensory processing to create inclusive learning environments.
Collaborating with parents to support dyspraxic learners’ progress.
Whether helping a child to manage their coat and shoes, develop legible handwriting, or prepare for secondary school, All About Dyspraxia offers clear, actionable guidance to empower all primary teachers, SENCOs and parents seeking to better understand and support children with dyspraxia.
Kim Griffin is a paediatric occupational therapist with over 20 years of experience supporting children, their families and teachers. She is the founder of GriffinOT, and the author of Success with Sensory Supports (JKP). Her current research focus is supporting student self-regulation in mainstream schools.
