Understanding Motor Behaviour in Developmental Coordination Disorder (eBook, PDF)

Redaktion: Barnett, Anna; Hill, Elisabeth

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Although Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD, sometimes referred to as 'Dyspraxia') has received less attention than other developmental disorders, its impact can be severe and long-lasting. This volume takes a unique approach, pairing companion chapters from international experts in motor behaviour with experts in DCD.
