Dyspraxia

This week I've been researching dyspraxia, as Little Prince's school (and us) think he could have this. Many of his behaviours and reactions match the symptom list on the Dyspraxia Foundation website - eerily closely!! His school teacher and the school SENCO are being very supportive and helpful and are going to work with us and Little Prince to find the most suitable way to help him. Its been scary and overwhelming to find that Little Prince might have special needs. However as the week has gone on I've come to realise that both he and we have been coping with the effects of his probable dyspraxia for the whole time we've been together - and just because it might now have a name doesn't change who he is, it just gives us extra tools and ideas of how to cope and help him to cope.

Its good that the school is on board too, so often they over look things..

Hi Lara,
Little Prince's school is known in the area for being good with SNs, so we are very lucky in that regard :-) I am sure he will do great once they have all the support he needs in place :-)
Love
