Recensioner i media

`This short book is a reliable introduction to a complex area of need which is all too often masked by a child's other, more obvious difficulties. The practical suggestions provide useful starting points for both specific visual difficulties and general visual development…This book is a good reminder that it is crucial for parents and practitioners to promote alternative activities that provide opportunities for children to practice and develop their visual skills.'
