Chesson, McKay and Stephenson look at pupils described as ‘clumsy’ but for whom they use the term motor/learning difficulty , In particular, they are concerned with parental views and attitudes. Their investigations suggest that on the whole they are very supportive of school. Worries emerge, however, as pupils progress to secondary education. The authors present us with some apt recommendations and plead for greater co‐operation at a variety of levels.
