Dystraxia: a new theory about cognitive development, school failure, delinquency and ADHD

One single variable might explain why some children are impulsive, tactless, forgetful and not very successful at school. This book explains that new psychological variable, defining it as the lack of the ability to perceive beyond immediate experience - dystraxia. It will impact on empathy, planning, responsibility, self-concept and many other important aspects of a person's life. Dystraxic children will be impulsive and tend to be difficult in school often leading to their dropping out ... or being dropped out! Dystraxia is possibly an even more important psychological variable that dyslexia or even general intelligence. A search for its origins suggests that many other behaviours such as hyperactivity, dyslexia and even delinquency may come from the same source. The book offers a range of exercises that may help develop abstraction defined here as the cognitive ability to perceive beyond immediate experience.
