I thought I'd start one as I can't find one that's already set up and wondered if there were others who would like to share. My son had an assessment recently and the conclusion was that he had DCD, not a formal diagnosis but that will follow. His school have been very supportive and he's begun a block of OT sessions privately. It's all still very new and quite daunting. He was premature, so has always been behind but I suppose I hoped that over time he would catch up. He's six and in year one, so hopefully it helps that we've started on it early. The biggest issue is his handwriting but also reading is tough for him.
