"This is a book I have been waiting for and now, having read it, I am not disappointed I feel sure that it will be appreciated not only by parents, teachers and health professionals, but most importantly by adolescents themselves. Packed full of practical advice and possible solutions, this is also an excellent resource to recommend to parents who are trying to support their child with DCD through a challenging period of their lives - adolescence and transition to adulthood - as well as a providing a guide that adolescents can refer to themselves."

"Amanda Kirby has written a very accessible book for parents and professionals dealing with adolescents with co-ordination issues. It covers a number of areas often overlooked such as social skills, puberty and living with others. Many of the practical views and experiences would translate easily for parents of children with other specific learning difficulties and it would be a valuable resource for parents and teachers alike."

"Amanda Kirby has set out to write a book to provide ideas, advice and practical solutions for supporting adolescents with developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) and is successful in her aim. The author's style of writing and the layout of the book make it accessible to parents, teachers, carers, professionals working with adolescents and adolescents themselves. Throughout the book the reader becomes increasingly aware of the fragile ego of the adolescent with DCD and how this affects family life, peer relationships and self-esteem. Amanda Kirby highlights the changing needs and desires of adolescents with DCD as they progress towards adulthood. Within each chapter, one or more case studies provide an insight into the difficulties experienced by some adolescents with DCD. These are both interesting and provoke an emotional response. I feel that the author has highlighted the areas of difficulty that adolescents with DCD may experience with great empathy. Furthermore, she has provided invaluable advice and numerous strategies for those involved with such adolescents and for the adolescents themselves."
