Dyspraxia – addressing the development of motor skills within one mainstream infant school
Jill McMinn
 
Issue 27, 2002           Readership: primary
There are children in every school who experience coordination and movement difficulties, who struggle to balance in PE or have poor cutting skills. In one school, a programme to develop motor skills led to a range of improvements in general coordination and in specific skills such as handwriting. Starting as a targeted ten-minute daily programme for children already identified as having special educational needs (in this case, speech and language difficulties), the scheme was extended to take in any children identified by teachers. Find out more about the system this infant school has put in place, and the benefits they have witnessed.
