DS is 8 and has a bunch of challenges at school. Mainly it is his handwriting is very very poor, similar to foundation age. He also struggles with spelling, but I think that is also down to his handwriting. For example in maths, he knows the answers and cannot get it written down accurately
Last year we had a bunch of tests and they diagnosed that he had mixed dominance, dyspraxia and slight autism, but none too serious. He basically sees something, can understand it, can process it, knows the answer, but cannot write it down.
So, he is now being put into sets and is gutted to be in the z set for literacy (the letter says it all) and he is in the B set for maths (v good). He is now getting into a tizz that he might not go to college (his cousin has just gone and he is very proud) and is worried about his future job prospects.... at 8 ffs! He said "mummy I dont want to be a toilet cleaner, they make me feel sick" - 
We have talked a lot and I explained to him all of the wonderful things he can do and all of the interesting jobs he could have. But, he still needs to improve his handwriting even a bit so he can be understood (think of it this way, bright brain, poor handwriting).
So, what sort of tutor should I get him? Should I even get him a tutor? Should I move his school to a school where they can give him more assistance? Help.
