Dyspraxia Week 2008
Published Date:

UP TO one in 10 children could have Dyspraxia. The condition is also known as "developmental co-ordination disorder" or "clumsy child syndrome".
Estimates of the prevalence of dyspraxia vary between 2% and 10%. It is thought to affect more boys than girls. A dyspraxic child will have difficulties with controlling their movements.
I've written a free Fact Sheet on the condition for publication to coincide with Dyspraxia Awareness Week (September 27th to 4th October), available from: Dyspraxia Fact Sheet, Appleford School, Shrewton, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP3 4HL. For a free copy, call: 01980 621020 or you can download a copy from the Appleford School website at: www.applefordschool.org
