Hi there, thanks for the great information on this site – tried to download Dawn’s book – Dyspraxia guide for parents and teachers but the link did not work. Is there anywhere else I can get this?

hi, Yes thank you. See an occupational therapist first. The occupational therapist should be able to show you exercises and activities that will help your child also.
good luck with your daughter.
Cheers
Dawn

Our daughter is 6 and has been diagnosed as having Dyspraxia. Her Occupational Therapist suspected it, and the diagnosis was confirmed by a child psychologist. That is usually how it is diagnosed, it is not something your GP can diagnose. Go see an Occ Therapist and have an assessment. If they suspect anything, they will recommend you see a child psychologist to have the diagnosis confirmed.

Thanks for a very well-thought out and easy to understand explanation. I always have difficulty understanding the scientific mumbo jumbo. This has been of great help to me as a Cub Scout leader with one Cub who has been diagnosed as dyspraxic. I would love to read your book, but unfortunately the link didn’t work

I want to know how can you have a child tested for dyspraxia, do they do these tests at school, or is there a special doctor you have to see for it,
and this is a very good site for explaining it as well.thank you.

Do you have ideas regarding an adult with verbal dyspraxia that
is the result of a stroke ?

I am a physiotherapist working with a child with developmental dyspraxia. Have you got any ideas for programming I can use with him? He is 6 years old.
Thanks
