ds3 has been referred to a physio to check out the reasons for his poor co-ordination. Playgroup have noticed he avoids physical activities. We have been aware for a long long time that he has a strange gait and awkward running technique. His left foot turns outwards slightly more than the other, he falls over his own feet quite a bit too.

He has not decided whether he is left or right handed yet. He hates getting dressed and undressed and needs lots of adult help still. He gets up from sitting on the floor like a baby still and cannot hop. Goes up the stairs in a babyish fashion too.

Anyone got any ideas what the problem might be? I think dyspraxia.

Friends little girl has dyspraxia and it affects one side more than the other. But could be a lot different things. Good luck with the physio.
