DS is 6 has moderate dyslexia, his teacher also thinks he is dyspraxic and that I should take him to the docs for an assesment. But what then? Can anything actually be done? Will it help get more assistance at school? Reading about it, he does exhibit some of the signs, but then again he is a tall, busy, enthusiastic child and much like his pals at school on the falling over/clumsy front, for want of better words.
I guess I am just struggling with this, does he need to be labelled, will it do any good? Or more harm?
We have talked to him about his dyslexia and he was very positive and quite glad to find out why reading and writing were a struggle. He loves school and is doing well. So I don't feel like adding another thing to the list, iykwim, esp. what there are so many theories and cures and whatnot about it!
Thoughts?
