Critics Review
The children in this book are shining examples of the great qualities dyspraxia can bring. Gives practical tips without glossing things over’. – Jonathan Levy, Chair of the Dyspraxia FoundationMeet the Dyspraxia Champions is a wholesome spark of hope for dyspraxic children and their families navigating a dyspraxia diagnosis for the first time. As a dyspraxic person, I can confirm that the book strikes the right balance between being truthful about what dyspraxic children often find challenging and recognising that they have so much to offer the world. It is refreshing, heart-warming, and life-affirming to see stories of self-assured dyspraxic children who never apologise for being exactly who they are. Being dyspraxic and navigating dyspraxia can be overwhelming when it’s all brand new for you. So, if the experience of living with dyspraxia is brand new to you or someone you love, read this to remind yourself that a world that accepts dyspraxic people for who they are is possible and completely worth fighting for. – Rosemary Richings, author of Stumbling Through Space and TimeI love this book. It has everything you need to know about the complex world of dyspraxia, written with simplicity and deep understanding. Not only does it highlight the strengths of dyspraxia champions and give child-friendly hints on overcoming challenges, it also investigates the overlap with ADHD, autism and dyslexia. Highly recommended! – Kathy Hoopman
