Senior School for Dyspraxic ds

[3rdnparty]

Ds diagnosed dyspraxic in yr 1 in state primary,now yr2 getting some ot and writing support in school and I have just started doing dietary supplementation and the exercises suggested in the brain food plan....
the school advises his reading is good, maths ok, literacy ok but writing still at early yr1 level. His last ot review has seen gross motor improve but not fine motor. Eyes are fine..... but his planning and sequencing etc are all poor

We are in W London but have the opportunity to move pretty much anywhere west! as dh job going to be mainly from home....from next year so what am I looking for in a senior school am concerned ds will be lost in a huge school and always in trouble for wrong books/lesson etc so was thinking independent but read that state can have better support.... we can get help from grandparents for fees but may be better using that for support/uni/flat...

what am i looking for???? any ideas?? thanks in advance.....

Have a bit of patience I think.

If you keep up with the brain food plan, you may see dramatic results over the next few months, and then you may not feel so worried about which school to go to.

He's only little, so you do have a few years up your sleeve.....

thanks Indigo and for all your other information on this forum, its really helped am reading the book now and seems to make real sense ... we will definately be moving at some stage though as want bigger garden and to have a dog....but maybe I should just wait a bit

If you're moving West the other thing to consider is you probably want to avoid grammar school areas, which are bucks and berks.
