I dont even know where to start with this post, and please no negativity or shaming. I dont think I could take it right now.
I wanted to keep this brief but having written it, its quite lengthy so my apologies.
My Dd is 7 almost 8, she has always been a confident, caring, social, fun loving,over the top girl, full of enthusiasm and life (everyone always comments on these traits) Her speech is impeccable, but she has always struggled with motor skills, to the point she is light heartedly known for her clumsyness and lack of coordination, her spacial awareness is almost none existent. We just thought that was her (I mean she cant be great at everything) I slowly started to notice there might be more to it as she progressed through school and it started to be apparent that she wasn't up to the same standard of school work as her peers. Initially I put it down to her being an August baby ( so almost a year younger than most of her class mates) but at the beginning of this year I mentioned to her teacher I was slightly concerned but did not want a label sticking on her, especially if she was just being lazy or preferred to socialise rather than study.
The teacher has collard me at the most recent parents evening to say he thinks she could have Dyspraxia. And they have been taking her out of class to study as she works better on a one to one basis (I was mortified surely they should have informed me of this before) they told me they would put a plan in place with the SENCO to help her and monitor her, this was 2 months ago and so fat they haven't made any attempt to do this.
What I am really asking for is any help, advice, experiences, tips, reassurance just a mum wanting an outlet really!
