hi, so my 8 year old son had just had an ot assessment. she basicially confirmed dyspraxia but will send out a more detailed report to me and school. also suggested maybe he has hypermobility in his hands. Im so shocked it has been confirmed.. its all a bit over whelming. when the ot was assessing him it was so obvious he has major problems with balancing on one leg and hopping on one leg i felt so bad for him he really struggled.. his handwriting is excellent but just very slow which i feel may be his biggest problem with regards to school..ot suggested laptop when hes older.. any other dcd mothers that can offer me any advice..have been referred to pediatrician to confirm dcd officially. im so shocked because bar riding a bicycle and using cuttlery confidently at home there are zero other issues..

No experience sorry @shellyr1989

Have you tried asking in the SN section?

Hello, I know this is quite an old thread but was just wondering how things are with your son? My daughter has a diagnosis of DCD.. happy to answer any questions you might have..she was only diagnosed in August so it's still new to me too
