Reviews

Developmental Coordination Disorder and its Consequences is an excellent contribution to our knowledge and understanding of DCD. - Susan Harris, Department of Physical Therapy, University of British Columbia Edited by a leading researcher into DCD, Developmental Coordination Disorder and its Consequences is well written and highly readable. Many of its chapters introduce new findings, new theories, and new models of service delivery, challenging researchers to think and act differently and to push the field in new directions. - Janice Causgrove Dunn, Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation, University of Alberta
