My son is going to be assessed for fine motor dyspraxia. My mother however is an english teacher , and remembers when dyspraxia was thought to be a made up thing , she feels that my son is just being difficult , when he is the nicest brightest boy you would ever meet.
The school feels he needs to be assessed and ive had suspicions that something was going on for a while , but when we ruled out dyslexia (his dads dyslexic ) thought nothing more of it . She seems to think that im saying that theres a made up thing wrong with him , when all im trying to say is that he needs a little help that isnt writing practice 24/7 and in his sleep .
Might just explain why he is the way he is so everybody can stop shouting at him -that never helps anybody
