Thanks so much mrz. I don't know if you remember me also from the thread where you identified he was possibly dyspraxic. I am wondering if he is dyslexic too. This is the report:

(This one surprises me as he's always drawing and they're very intricate, but more 'patterns'/ 'machines' than recognisable objects that completely cover the paper, though he can do a car, people, house now)
(This bit is from me not the report)
He fairly often writes his whole name backwards, not in mirror writing, but just from right to left. It's taken him the best part of a year to get the 'v' in his name not written as 'n'. He can concentrate for very long periods, on building or drawing which he does on his own. But finds it very hard if it's verbal (sitting and listening) or things in groups. He's very easily excited.
I have an appointment to talk through with the teacher. I am wondering how to go about diagnosing the above things, and whether it's helpful to or not.
