AUTHOR PROFILE Hana Jay is our chief author and highly experienced teacher and diagnostic expert with a long standing proven international record. Her knowledge of learning difficulties is outstanding and surpassed by none. Hana says that learning difficulties are often associated with apraxia (dyspraxia). She became very interested in children diagnosed with apraxia (dyspraxia) many years ago. Hana writes: The term apraxia has been known from the beginning
of the
last
century,
yet most
educationalists
ignore
it. Apraxic children have no linear (ordered) thinking. Their thinking is not based on now, before or after; therefore they cannot comprehend the meaning of “do this... and then this and after this do that". They live in the " now", they do not know the meaning of tomorrow etc. They cannot plan, because they don’t understand the concept of sequential planning, they cannot transpose themselves into the future time. Our expectations and explanations seem to them very chaotic. They don’t really know what we want and what we mean for them to do. That is why apraxic children are not able to learn
like other
children,
yet
they
are
intelligent.
They
cannot do
the work,
because
they
do
not
know
what
they
are
expected
to do.
They do
not
know
how
to
start and
then how
to
proceed
with the
task. (Read
