APPENDIX 3

BOOKLISTS AND INFORMATION ALREADY AVAILABLE

Reference Books:

Some of these books may be available in your local library. Some of the books make reference to the term “Dyspraxia” – a term that can be used to describe a child with co-ordination difficulties. As therapists, we do not diagnose Dyspraxia, however the strategies and activity ideas in these books would be useful to a wide range of difficulties and/or diagnoses.
