On tuesday i had to take dj to our local child development centre for a dyspraxia test, we were their for nearly 2 hours, doing various tests to check his balance, coordination, handwritting, muscles and more.
It was confirmed that he does have dyspraxia as well as being dyslexic, and that his muscles are weak.
Their is no cure for dyspraxia but their is lots of help and information out their.
If im totally honest its all alot to take in and i feel guilty for shouting at DJ for things he hasn't been able to do as i no now that their a reason for it.
DJ has servere dyslexia and dyspraxia and his previous school offered no help, but since starting at a new school last september his work and confidence has come on leaps and bounds, it's great to finally see him mixing well with a wide range of children instead of just one friend.
DJ has no coordination at all so is unable to ride a bike or scooter, because of the dyspraxia he is also behind for his age in various other things, but excels in his maths, im so proud of him for coping and not letting anything get in his way.
I will blog again soon about Dj and his dyspraxia to let you all know how he is getting on
