I'm wondering whether DS might be dyspraxic and if so what do I should I do next. I've noted below some of the things that make me suspect he could have a problem.
He is 6 years old and has struggled with learning to swim (body position low in water). He loves going underwater and will lob himself into the pool without any concerns but his swimming is rather unconventional! We've tried quite a few times to get him to ride his bike without stabilisers but no success yet. His teacher feels that he should be writing far more than he does particularly considering his reading ability. He struggles to take is sweatshirt off. Verbally he is a bright child who shows quite strong emotions and gets rather excitable. He's also still quite a messy eater.
So could this all be quite normal for a 6 year old or should I be doing something about it? If so should I go through his school or the GP?
