I posed on "SN - Teens" but got zero responses, so thought I'd try here.
My 13 year old son is currently under assessment for Dyspraxia but the OT has hinted strongly that it looks likely he does have it; just a matter of confirming how much support/ assistance he requires. Long process, waiting lists yada yada.
My son came home yesterday with his latest report card and its much the same as all his others since he started school. Disorganised, easily distracted, rushes work, lacks confidence, fidgets, forgets his kit etc etc.
What I'm looking for is examples of practical support I can put in place to help. It feels like a struggle because I have in the past made rotas, timetables, checklists etc but then he simply forgets to look or ignores them. I work full time and juggle the household and siblings alone so it can be very time consuming when every evening and morning I have to go through a whole list of "have you done a,b, c, x,y,z" "have you remembered x,y,z?"
I was just wondering whether anyone else has been through this and found a knack to it. Maybe a helpful app, website or printable helpsheet etc?
btw; school knows he is under assessment and are ok with communicating this through to teachers. His guidance teacher is great and always happy to talk through my concerns. School haven't instilled any practical support that I'm aware of. Is there anything I should push for? Son is wary of looking "different" to his friends etc
