Would I be unreasonable to ask my DS's school to do an assessment for dyspraxia?
My DS is 14 and in year 10. We have been to see his tutor tonight for target setting evening. She said that he appears to be incapable of organising himself effectively and that this has been the case from year 7. She said that the severity of his poor organisation is hampering his performance as school. He is constantly forgetting stuff apparently. He frequently gets detentions as he is unable to remember deadlines. His tutor said that he often has done the homework but has forgotten to bring it in. His locker is apparently full of C*p and a total mess.
She seemed to be describing a child where poor organisational skills is way beyond what is usual for a boy of his age.
Does it seem a good idea to ask for some kind of assessment as maybe he could benefit from additional support at school?
I don't want to look like I am being overly fussy, but the tutor made it sound so bad. Perhaps we as parents should be doing more to help, but I am not quite sure exactly what help to give him.
