dd is 6 and I have asked for a referral as I think she may be dyspraxic. We are seeing a paediatric neurologist tomorrow, I have made a list of all of my concerns. Does anyone know what I can expect of the appointment? is it more likely to be questions or tests of some kind? thanks Smile

Sorry, can't really be of much help. I support a child in MS with dyspraxia and ASD and the 2 seem to overlap a lot. Does your DD have issues other than physical? Social difficulties or rigidity of routines? I expect the paed will take a full developmental history from you so take your baby book, to remind you! Any language problems, late talker? Girls are usually better at all the social stuff so can mask any difficulties better. Good luck.Smile

Hangingbelly - has your DD been assessed by OT/Physio and SALT? My DS was dx by a paediatrician after his 'concerns' were confirmed by the above. He asked a few questions, but went mainly from the reports of others.
