Motor Development in Early and Later Childhood:
To start with I must confess myself entirely enthralled with this book. From personal care to transition into secondary or college level studies, to transition out of the home, it gives advice for caregivers and teachers alike. The beginning gives a nice background on DCD, DSM-IV and ICD-10, prevalence in society, and symptomatic concerns in adolescents. These young adults need a unique level of support and guidance that is similar but different from their neuro-typical peers. It isn't enough to say that teens are awkward. But here we have a group of teens that are already physically challenged being presented with all the additional teen-age issues - while often being 2-3 years socially and emotionally less developed. Keeping oneself clean, presentable, organized for school and looking cool is hard for the average teen. Dr. Kirby brings her own experience of raising a child with DCD to bear by describing all the various personal, school, family, social and emotional issues in a series of chapters. Each chapter is then discussed with suggestions for simplifying the path forward and suggesting methods that will present the family and teen strategies for success in bullet point form. Each section has a short story Case Study where a teen's dilemma is discussed and thoughtful questions, or outcomes, are included. There is no lack of detail (lockers and checklists are included) while maintaining a broad view that never bogs down the readability.
I have many tape flags in its margins. I highly recommend it.
