Little Prince's Assessment

The private Occupational Therapist arrived yesterday morning to assess Little Prince for dyspraxia. She spent about three hours working with him on standardised tests. She has to check the results and write her report, but her initial impressions were that he isn't classically dyspraxic :-) He has good planning abilities, that dyspraxic kids typically don't have. But she did say that his fine motor control was immature and that he has concentration and attention issues. The trouble is these issues could be masking the fact that he is dyspraxic and until we have worked with him to address the concentration and attention issues, then we can't really know if he is dyspraxic or not. She did feel that there are lots of things we can do to help him, both at home and at school and will put these in her report. So, overall, I think it was a pretty positive outcome :-) And I was so proud of Little Prince and how he tried his best and co-operated with the things the therapist asked him to do - well done little man :-)
