My ds2 is 3 and I suspect may be dyspraxic ? he has poor fine and gross motor skills, lowish muscle tone and problems with co-ordination and motor planning. He also has unclear articulation and his language whilst quite good in some ways (e.g. he can string a reasonable sentence together such as ?I want to stay and stamp in the puddles some more?), can get quite muddled up in terms of trying to hold a conversation.
He has been seen by all and sundry and last week my dh and I suggested to the paed that he might be dyspraxic. The paed sort of agreed it was possible but prefers a label of global developmental delay and says that is too early to diagnose dyspraxia at this age.
Does anyone have experience of a child being diagnosed this little or am I being unrealistic? I am concerned that he might not get all the help he needs without a diagnosis but maybe there is a limited amount that can be done for dyspraxia other than what would be done for GDD at this age anyway? I would be grateful to hear other people?s experience in terms of diagnosis.
