I took this myself instead of my mother taking it nd got 23 out of a possible 35. I also tend to have problems with making food for myself or making a cup of tea for my parents. I sometimes have problems washing my hair and until about 2 years ago, I could’nt work a shower. I’m 13 and my sister is 11 and she can do all that stuff and she sometimes looks down on me. However, I am extremely good at Maths and have good handwriting but at school I’m unreliable for handing in homework. My parents have never thought I would be dyspraxic so I will have to tell them that I may be slightly.

Hi,
I just did the test and my 5 year old who scored 33. I thought she may have been dyslexic and is on a waiting list to be diognosed by a pediatrian. Maybe she has Dyspraxia or both? I am confused!!

I was informed at my 6yr old son’s parents evening that he needs a lot of one to one,has difficulty concentrating and can not hold a pen properly amongst other things.I have always thought that my son was different to other children.He has a half brother who was diagnosed with Dyspraxia at an early age,I see alot of similarities.I have just done the test for 3-7 yr old and my son scored 26.I live in Wales in the UK and have no idea how to get him tested/diagnosed any advice you could give me would be gratefully appreciated

Hi there,

I have a six and a half year old daughter with a yet undiagosed developmental disability incorporating a seizure disorder, extremely low muscle tone, hyper-mobility and she is also the height and weight of a 12-14 year old. Her IQ was 78 at age four and a half, to be on the severe disability register it must be 75 or below so she misses out on funding in school and is slowly regressing. Some professionals mentioned dispraxia and after checking your survey she has ticked 29/35 boxes. What does this mean for her and where do I go from here?

Thanks Hannah

Hi,

My son has a diagnosis of PDD-NOS, but his symptoms are very much like Dyspraxia. I have looked at the tick box test and most of the situations are applicable to my son. He is 12 years old. I am writing to you to find out how I can get him properly diagnosed and to find out what treatments are available for his condition.

I hope you can assist and look forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
Meeta

Hi,

I’m an adult and have suspected for a little while I’m dyspraxic. Just did the dyspraxia test and scored 31 out of 35 – suspect I could be right! I live in the UK, but am just wondering what the best thing to do from here is?
