Can you help with a research project on dyspraxia?
Michelle Pratt would like to hear from families who have a child aged 7 to 14 years diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder (DCD – often referred to as dyspraxia).
Michelle would be pleased to hear from you if you can help with a research project she is currently carrying out.
Michelle is a PhD student at Goldsmiths, University of London and is looking at the impact of DCD on everyday living, and how it may be linked to other aspects of life such as planning and memory skills, self-esteem and anxiety. There are two parts to the project, one of which is a home visit where children and teenagers would be asked to complete various tasks which are presented as games. The second part of the study is questionnaire based, and can be completed via the post.
If you feel that you may be interested in taking part or would like more information then please contact;
