Dyspraxia - Any advice for helping teen DD

2 replies

Peddlefaster · 26/08/2023 21:26

DD has just been diagnosed - signs were there for a long time but she’s been in some ways spiralling over the last couple of years. Organisation seems beyond her and the usual things like writing etc are difficult

Is there anything you would recommend in terms of helping with organisation, motor skills etc
Thanks

For DS we had a crate in the kitchen where he kept all schoolwork. We got him different coloured zip folders like these for each subject and put the exercise books and text books in, along with any other equipment, like protractors for maths, coloured pencils for geography. And put a pens, pencil and a small ruler and rubber (super cheap from Wilkos) in each folder.

Then we put his timetable and homework timetable up on the fridge and colour coded them to match the coloured ziplock files. So he just had to glance to see what he needed to put in his bag each day. Then when he got to school, he knew which file ot pull out and everything he needed for each lesson was in there. It massively helped him to be more organised.

I checked with him every morning before school whether he needed PE kit or swimming kit etc.

He also had foam stress toys to strengthen his wrists and rubber grips over his pens and pencils so that his hands didn't tire so easily.
