Download Dyspraxia: The Hidden Handicap Executed By Amanda Kirby Audio Books
read the first edition back inor, it was what lead me to suspect I maybe dyspraxic and in the search for understanding, as a consequence of reading that book I remember there was a very helpful checklist of characteristics though as a former qualified social work professional self assessment can be dangerously wrong I contacted and joined the Dyspraxia Foundation and became involved in organisations lead by the sadly late Mary Colley a close friend of Dr Kirby.
Dr K is an excellent conference speaker leads an assessment and treatment centre in Newport, South Wales, which is part of a University where I believe she is now a professor.
The last time I met her was at Mary Colley's memorial event in London in about,
Mary Colley also authored a book aimed at helping adult dyspraxics understand the condition as it applies to them and to adapt to the consequences in ways that enable one to live successfully in a world where few understand about dyspraxia and its disabling and dispiriting impact on most aspects of life.
Including writing a review see how I lost track of what I was writing mid sentence Non dyspraxics describe the most important aspects as what they see the clumsiness etc it used to be called clumsy child syndrome whereas those who come to understand it for ourselves know the most powerful effect is the way we think, the way we can it is an individualise condition every dyspraxic has unique experiences of the conditionlose track of what we are saying whilst we are saying it.
It is something to do with 'working memory' and not surprisingly casual acquaintances seem to try to avoid me, because I can be confusing to be with!
Amanda Kirby understands all this from her family experiences and professionally I doubt there is anyone better suited to lead a treatment centre in the UK though we will never be cured than Amanda Kirby.
