- James was diagnosed in 2005 with dyspraxia, a disability that can affect movement and coordination. His mother describes James' symptoms and the methods used to improve his condition
Respect to the mother who captured the essence of this difficulty so succinctly.
What a wonderful mother. So tuned into her son and his needs. Lots of love to their family.
I like that his mother understands him so deeply. It must have taken a lot of effort to gain so much knowledge about his condition. This could be taken for granted but I think it's not so obvious.
I have dyspraxia. I am very clumsy, shy, I get stressed easily, I find it difficult to follow instructions, get confused, struggle to tell time and i am very poor at maths & telling time, bad at PE especially throwing and catching etc. Lots of people don't understand. it makes me upset.
Have you ever been tested for trisomy x? My granddaughter has it and along with it some girls can have motor skills problems. Look it up.
Katie.Lydia. 13 Is that you in thepicture
Katie.Lydia. 13 this describes me very much. I'm dyspraxic
Katie.Lydia. 13 all same for!! but I don't like maths and pe
So i'm not alone?
I suffer dyspraixc. I became 2nd dan black belt of tae kwon I still suffered dyspraixa but I pround who I really am
"he knows what to achieve but his ability to show you what he achieved is difficult" . Couldn't agree more. I love painting and drawing, always had a huge ideas in my head, but my motoric skill couldn't achieve it. As a result, now I'm improving my writing, which need less motoric skills. Sometimes, I feel frustated.
I feel the same way, I am really into making art and being creative because my imagination runs rampant, but I don't have the co-ordination to achieve what I want to do to a quality that I feel proud of... People tell me just to practice heaps, but its like my muscles dont remember the skills that I practice so I don't get any better :P
Nadia same I’m so creative I’ve spent many years trying to draw and can still barely do it I’ve created my own style to art and love doing art so much
Everyone can be an artist if you just believe in yourself. It only has those limits and boundaries if you set them upon yourself. In order to maintain an artist and do exstotinary unique work you have to go beyond society's standards
My little girl has dyspraxia at 9 she is jist being moved to a soecial needs school. She is very angry and frustrated. Behavioir is awful and she has lost most od her criwnd as aocially she is behimd yjem. Please if you think yoir child may have duspraxia get it diagionised asap and fight for your child as early as possible without the right support they struggle. I wish she had moved achools 2 years ago I woild probably ha e a differnt child. I love my little lady and will never five up fighting for her..
I'm dyspraxia and I remember I was a lot slower than any1 els and I would allweys be the tigger in tig and wos in the bottom spelling group. But now I am in Oxford university for my 2 nd year
Omg well done !
I got diagnosed at 18, back in school the teachers used to say “you’re not concentrating”
I have dyspraxia. the way I got through the 'constant falling' was by taking ballet lessons.
i'm dyspraxic i do get annoyed with myself because i can't do things like other people can.
In school
Me: I have dyspraxia
Others: DoNt YoU mEaN DySLeXiA
Me 🤦🏽♂️
I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia in primary school, and as I have gone through education and since becoming a teacher myself; I have learnt many strategies to cope. Organisation, Social Interaction, Sensory Information, and Cognitive Functions are all factors which can lead to confusion, frustration, stress or tiredness. I am use to monitoring the impact it has, and change things if needed. Dyspraxia is a interesting condition and often occurs in highly intelligent people.
this made me cry as its the best explanation i have heard over it my son has dyspraxia ADHD sensory and mild learning difficulties and its hard when he is in a down mood as he gets it from all his conditions at once so hard to bring him back up again
Im dyspraxic and I was wondering if other people who have been diagnosed also deal with muscle memory issues like I do. So an example would be: I learnt to ride my bike at the age of 10, and after a few years the bike was too small and I never ended up getting another one, but now im 20 and its like ive forgotten how to ride one completely, as if I never learnt in the first place. Same deal with swimming, I used to have lessons and be one of the strongest swimmers I knew, and now I can barely keep myself afloat while out of my depth.
IAREBELOST nope ur not alone. I also have a memory problem as well. Times where i keep forgotten what i have learn last week during school. It does affect my education and my grades just keep on declining
I'm 15, Dyspraxic, learnt how to tie my shoes only last month and I haven't been able to ride a bike since about 10 as you say.
I have memory issues in terms of short-term memory, but I am sure if I tried to ride a bike again, I wouldn't have a problem, so I don't have issues with that. I rode a bike about 2 years ago, it was only a challenge for a couple of minutes. However, I have a very hard time following yoga type moves, doing basketball lay-ups, and gauging where a ball is going to land when playing volleyball.
IAREBELOST same
IAREBELOST
Yep 👍🏻
This is exactly how I experience dyspraxia, looking back at how I was as a child. No one knew of course. Just a struggle. But I'm still here. Good luck James, you have a great foundation , family support to build your life from. I'm sure everything will be fine :)
I don't have dyspraxia but I still completely relate to all of the comments of people talking about what they're like with dyspraxia. I don't really know how to feel about that...
Angry sad
I am turning 20 really soon and and was diagnosed with dyspraxia at age 9, even though i did see doctors before that. people i know just don't understand how it is for me each day, they think i'm just being "lazy", tried to get a job at summer camps, applied for 20, never got hired by any. i am just so happy that i recieved a scholarship for people with disabilties in college thats paying for my all of my schooling. finally learning to drive, and it is very difficult.
Anyone hate when people think that your dyslexic when u tell them u have dyspraxia
The Madshotgun it’s gotten to the point were i’m making a power point to show them
@@k4nj1kun83 same lol
My school mocks me beacase of my face and disprexia
I live in Dublin Ireland, dyspraxia makes my writing look pretty bad, I'm always messy (my nickname is messy Megan) I'm always jumping around, dyspraxia is actually what makes me me! I had to get to a therapist and she helped me deal with it, she always asked me to run around and I loved it! I also joined yoga to try help me relax..it didn't really work XD, I have trouble falling asleep at night. Like if you also have dyspraxia.
Megan Chan & Maddie girl
1) Hello fellow Irish person! {Is from Wexford}
2) Something you said there seems a bit off.. "Dyspraxia is what makes me, me!", I don't have dyspraxia myself, but I find it silly that you'd say something like that. Your (in lack of better word) problem shouldn't be the thing that represents you. Dyspraxia *doesn't* make you yourself, It's actually *you* !
Your dyspraxia is one of the reasons you act the way you do, but it shouldn't be the only thing that you feel makes you, you. I have anxiety and mild depression but those don't make me, me.
If your dyspraxia is *actually* what makes you, you then you need to rethink some things..
Hey that’s weird I live in Northern Ireland too Ireland and also have dyspraxia
You sound just like my son. Always jumping and running and ‘stimming’. But always happy. That’s what I love about him.
I have it too and what u just described is everything that my dyspraxia affects
I think what she means it makes her unique.
I was diagnosed with dyspraxia from the age of 4 or 5 as in nursery I'd have no spacial awareness what so ever like I would be in the classroom but I'd be literally sitting on people's laps or just really really close to them. It got so bad one boy got really annoyed at me and pushed me off the climbing frame. In my early primary years I used to get in trouble a lot for staring out of the window, not paying attention and just overall lack of communication with the teachers and this was all due to my dyspraxia. Like the women said in the video about her son that people would just look at him and go oh what's wrong with him that's like me now. When I was younger I took these classes called Beams which helped with my coordination now I'm 15 and I'm no way near as bad as I was just have the odd lack of concentration and my organisation is so out its rubbish to be honest. I just have to accept that I have it and move on you know? People with dyspraxia are just like others, no different so don't think you are. We are as capable as anybody else.
What I hate as a parent is how, my sons primary school let this go by for 7 years, he wasn't bullied, apparently he was the antagoniser, after first year at high school, he was shouted at by teachers, considered lazy, and annoying to other classmates, I didn't understand how he suffered in English with a teacher he didn't like, but achieves 90+% in French and Spanish, I'm dont agree that memory suffers with dyspraxia, my sons can remember a pack of cards, he can remember everything, good and bad, worst time is nights, when he can't sleep, I would like a idea to help him get rest so he can grow. you can be what you want to be #nevergiveup.
The school has now recognised dyspraxia may be the cause for his bad writing in second year, but they need help and support on this, by the time this comes, it could be 3rd year, and only a year from exams, what the fk has the primary school been doing.
Please, don't give up! Accept yourself the way you are. Tomorrow's another dawn, another day. You're very young. The whole life before you. You just need to find yourself in the world. Slowly, lots of things will come and enrich your life. Do not lose hope and believe in yourself. You feel lonely and that worsens your situations. One good friend could completely change the way you see the things now. There are people somewhere in the world who you'd be good friends with.
I have dyspraxia, I have to sometimes read out loud to remember stuff and I fall over nearly every day. I write differently and hold my pen differently and some people can’t understand what I’m saying because my voice is so slurred
Our son who's fast approaching 40 now, was never formally diagnosed with dyspraxia but as a child he had bad co-ordination, couldn't concentrate, was a dreamer in class and was pretty much in a different world. He could work things out mentally but terrible at writing things down. He did very badly at school. I read about an institue in Chester which helped children like him. Well he went to a therapist (I had to pay) for around a year. She made him do some very strange exercises, very slow and deliberate. She asked if he crawled as a baby, no he didn't and this apparently is very important for co-ordintion etc. It all sounded mumbo jumbo to do with shutting off different stages of development before moving on and he hadn't done that. Anyway to cut a long story short, it worked. He went from not reading at all to a couple of books a month. He could thrash across the swimming pool but couldn't do his arms and legs at the same time, he could after the treatment. His writing improved along with his co-ordination. At one stage before this happened I believed he would be unemployable but he left school and worked for a few diffent companies with no problems. He also passed his driving test at 17 another thing at one time, I never thought possible.
I think you may have taken your son to an institute that used the "Dore Program" that teaches certain exercise to train the cerebellum. Well, we are not exactly sure what causes dyspraxia, but certain physical exercises are said to help. The brain can be changed. What we do know is that like with ADHD, people with dyspraxia often have problems like having a leaky gut, omega 3 deficiencies, vitamin E deficiencies, and in need of certain exercises to help re-train their brain. Not everyone's the same. I wish I had some institute like that I could go to growing up to help me with my dyspraxia, but there was nothing like that for me growing up. However, my writing has improved, I am working on exercising to help my balance, I am watching my diet etc... The exercises you had your son do was so great for him. I wish I had access to something like that growing up.
Have you any information on these treatments. I would be very interested to know as a family member of mine has been diagnosed with dcd.
I have Dyspraxia I Get Frustrated When I Cant Do Something
im edzacly the same school is annoying cos i know what i want i can see it in my head but i dont know how to get it out of my head and onto paper
i so relate to this as i was diagnosed as a child there wasnt the help there when i was a child im going back to the 70s i talked early but didnt walk til i was over 2 years old. thank you for posting this up.
im 14 years old and i also have this it make every day a challenge but im determined never to give up
This was a really good explanation.
amazing video.
my son was diagnosed with dyspraxia yesterday. I've got him in occupational and speech therapy and trying to get him ABA threapy
I was diagnosed with dyslexia late September last year. I had my assessment for dyslexia for my disabled student allowance, hopefully to help with university this year, yesterday. They decided to test for dyspraxia as well, and hey presto, I have it as well.
What a FANTASTIC video on Dyspraxia/apraxia.. just awsome! My son has Verbal Dyspraxia, is 25 months in speech therapy.. yet to see if the dyspraxia is motor yet or not.. his overall gross motor skills arent the best. Walked at 18 months, still cant kick a ball at 2 yrs etc etc
As someone who has dyspraxia I actually find this video extremely offensive. Yes, it is informative and the symptoms mentioned were accurate however I feel people’s opinions on dyspraxia goes between two extremes. People either know nothing about it and refuse acknowledge it or see it as a major issue that will always massively impact the individual’s life, this is incorrect. I did dance, swimming and cycling as a child, had one of the best balances out of all my peers, achieved 10 GCSEs, have a fast-paced job where I am constantly busy multitasking and I am now confidently working through my a-levels.
My parents thankfully treated me the same as every other child and I excelled. I had one teacher in primary who treated me as if I had a serious problem and to be honest I hated her and that period of my life which I still find difficult to look back on as I felt like a test subject. I was bullied and singled out because of how one teacher treated me.
I don’t need special treatment, I need help when I feel it’s necessary. I can learn like anyone else, I just take slightly longer. I don’t needed to be treated like I have some sort of stress or anger issues, I am human being not my disability (or whatever else you wish to call it). And I am definitely NOT HANDICAPPED! The fact that term was even mentioned in this video frankly disgusts me. That derogatory word should NEVER be used to describe anyone in my opinion.
I am just me... I am not my dyspraxia.
I agree, but obviously it is different for other people. My little brother has dyspraxia and it does affect him quite a lot, seeing as he has a problem with his eyes aswell. I understand this is how you feel, and people so take dyspraxia as an extreme, but it is different for different people 🤷🏻♀️
Since it is a spectrum disorder it is unfair for you to think that other people won’t have a lot more affect from it than you would. My son has it and it affects every area of our lives
It’s a spectrum disorder
My teachers in primary school thought I was Dyspraxic because I was slow at getting changed, had rubbish balance (still do), couldn't catch or throw a ball properly and... I can't remember what there other reasons were...
I so wish my parents could watch this video.
Hi, I'm 23 years old and I have had many of those symptoms that are described in this video, and for the first time in my life I seem to have an answer on where all my problems come from.
Is this a very common thing from the U.K.? I'm from the U.S. and I suspect I have it because of all the challenges in learning and was clumsy and shy. My 3rd great grandparents, the Kemps came from Poole Dorset England in the 1840s.
I have dyspraxia I’m very clumsy and I get stressed so when I’m stressed I need to fidget or I will get annoyed with myself
This Explains Me Exactly
when my daughter was 7 an educational psychologist diagnosed her with dyspraxia.She is 22 now and has never been able to ride a bike,catch a ball,and still ties her shoe laces weird.Hasn't affected much of her life as she grew into adulthood.
She's an excellent mother.
Luckily I only had very mild dyspraxia, meaning I had to work on throwing, catching, balancing under sporting conditions (though those three are still fairly shit) and that kind of stuff. I'm realising that I'm fortunate to not have it affecting my speech and mobility, and a sympathise with anyone who had the condition.
This scared me I thought I was on the internet (I am also a brit called James with dyspraxia
I have dispraxia and I always have trouble with other people and they make me angry
Thank you for this, My daughter who just turned 4 was DX"d with this and Aperixa at 2 years old. she goes threw alot of issues at home and sometimes at school. she will Hit the teachers and me and daddy. all we can do is try our hardest to understand her or she gets frustrated very easy and goes in to a tantrum. she has O.T, and P.T 3 times a week for an hr. each and she also has speech and special instruction 3 times a week for either a half hr or an hr. each session at school.
My memory is terrible and I tend to forget if I said yes in the register so I have to ask someone if I say yes
I am wondering if James is dyslexic as well, my son is dyslexic and shows mind forms of dyspraxia, I personally think these things go hand in hand...
All schools should have an understanding of dyspraxia or dyslexia by realising that its something that your born with but some teachers and parents are so ignorant that they are the problem not the child but many dyspraxic or dyslexic children become very successful in adult life we all have strengths and weaknesses never be angry with someone whose cordinaition or literacy is not as good as someone else's because they will be exceptional at other things
I have dyspraxia but i dont have any motor inabilities im very good at hurling which is an irish sport which involves very good hand-eye co-ordination and also good at catching rugby balls. Im fairly shy for a 15 year old but can still socialise fairly well and i dont talk out loud but I don’t have any routines and can ignore instructions fairly easily and also getting up early for a match or school can be hard because i am very tired and dont listen well but im slowly getting better at that. Another problem with my dyspraxia is that i also have dysgraphia so i type on a keyboard but really that doesnt hold me back because i learnt to type very fast and can type faster than writing which helps with tests. But if you think if you have dyspraxia you should get a test quicker than you think and you shouldnt wait because the more time you dont get help the more you will fall behind because thats what started happening to me but now im ahead in school so really do think about getting a test.
I have dyspaxia and I am very fidgety as one part of it and sometimes I do it on class and people were making fun of me and said i was always acting like I was scared
oml i need those pencil grips they would help my writing so much.
did he take long ta talk?
I'm going through this now I have an 2 1/2 year old and the GP and health visitors won't listen to me his signs are so strong and have been since 9 months old he's completely different and it's so frustrating I have a massive fight on my hands with this one and getting help x
does dyspraxia go away? or you shell have dyspraxia forever?
Im dyspraxia and dyslexic and got alot more special needs I also have a righting slope
I have dyspraxia as well
actually there is something thats called aquired dyspraxia. Its formed after a brain injury to the head.
My sister Naomi has dyspraxia. She's struggling a lot with dyspraxia. She was diagnosed with dyspraxia by her physician.
i know you have to i been thought that i was bullied in my last two schools now i am in school for special needs kids are its there to help i am dyspraxia as well and sometimes i think no one understands me but thanks for the videos it helps me to explain to the people
Hi. I'm from Romania, my son seems to have the same problems. Here there is no help that we can get, save for their saying that "he's lazy" and so on. I've seen your video and I am so very interested in finding the pencil grabs you showed on the video that you use for helping your child with writing. This is a big problem with my son, and as you said he is becoming frustrated seeing he cannot do it. Could you please let me know where can I find such pencil grabs? Many thanks in advance.

I have dyspraxia but I don’t believe it’s a handicap is it a handicap?
Thank you for your comments, that is helping me greatly to realize exactly what we are dealing with and what to expect. Course us parents find ourselves stressed depressed as well. We work together. I am like stressed to be on end. And depressed. I believe I am trying to do this all by myself and realizing it’s not working. but with my grandson who is nine who has been diagnosed with apraxia of speech and dyslexia. He has flunked kindergarten he still cannot read a little bit of writing. Maybe that’s it. I just need help with the court. He’s got to know every single thing I’m saying what am I going to do? Who are you talking to? What are we going to do today. He has got to have his nose into everything I’m doing. He cannot stand not knowing, he gets very unhappy and bothered. almost as if he thinks he’s got to be the adult. He’s having trouble finding his way and I’m finding it very hard to lead. Someone please help me. Online anything does not help. Hands-on is always the most in at most best way of anything.
I wonder how James is doing in 2024. My son has dyspraxia so I would like to support him as much as I can
I have struggled with Dispraxia for 14 years and only just got a diagnosis
My son that is 3 1/2 also is dyspraxic. didn't start talking till he was 3 and still is in therapy. He also has a lot of sensory issues. I have some videos on my youtube if you could watch them and let me know if your son is similar.
2005? That's a year before I got diagnosed lol
I have dispraxia but my coordinations are good so I don’t understand
I am SEVERELY dyspraxic. So bad that at the age of 10 it was suggested that I should go to special school. I'm depressed all the time as I cannot do anything, I try and try and fail. I hate this condition and only as an 18 year old at university I am tired of life already this is horrible condition. It's affects are the worst-I have poor social skills (no friends) Extremely low self es stem and confidence should I end it all?
Warnca W I’m like u .. But Music helps me so much, keep your life going,youll get what u deserve
No don't end anything! I have some tough times as well. There's always hope.
Hi, have you thought about integrating primitive reflexes exercises? These have proved very successful for my child. Her frustration levels, her physical abilities, her coordination, and her social skills have all improved greatly. Some professionals believe dyspraxia is due to infantile reflexes not being integrated into the brain at the correct time, and that this is what causes all the symptoms of dyspraxia.
hey thanks a lot. I will look into this. I have tried to elaborate Dyspraxia a thousand times to my parents. I fear that My parents will never accept me !
@youdickhed I'm the same, my counsellor thinks I may be dyspraxic but I'm certainly not as bad as this kid because I've managed to get quite far without any sort of diagnosis and I think my problem has only come out under a lot of pressure and now that I'm 22. I think it's interesting that two people who are potential dyspraxics both have awesome youtube handles.
Going to get an official disgnosis soon. Can't wait, because it will stop be getting shouted at when I don't change fast enough for PE, or when I'm not working fast enough for FT.
I am super clumsy, can't ride a bike or skii and I struggle to tie shoelaces. Teachers are always shouting at me to go faster, or to do as they say, but when the school gets emailed, I will have things such as extra time to change in PE and not get debited because I'm not whisking fast enough or something.
I get very annoyed when people think I'm dyslexic, I'm not. Obviously, for some people the coordination affects their writing and drawing, but for me it's practical tasks. I have always been clumsy and 100% NOT diy... never thought there was a reason.
I have this I thought I was alone
I have it also 17 years passed all my exams did something I did not expect to do to I can do anything
I was born in 1969, back nothing was notice. i have always had problems with grip and motor skills. 4 me and my family it's only took the few yrs 2 know what may have been the problems i have all my life even so 4 proof it's for me 2 get diagnosed. 2 make what i have seem on this clip is not much difference 2 me. some barriers i have over come but i guess at 44 some r there 4 me 4 the rest of my life but i hope for those younger or a lot younger than me will get a lot more support than what i did.
I have dyspraxia But it doesn’t really affect me much negatively in my primary school because there’s only 28 of us in my year but I’m going too high school next year and I’m going up from 28 in my year too 200 and I’m scared because some teachers won’t understand my dyspraxia, I had a sub teacher that was like that and I came home crying every day.
The ways my dyspraxia affects me is I am fidgety and I move around a lot my hand writing is messy and almost unreadable sometimes I am awful at shooting in sports or any racket sports I couldn’t tie my school tie or shoe laces until I was 10 and I’m clumsy and I have trouble sleeping at night
I participate in alot of sports (swimming netball football)because I have a lot of Energy even though I never try too score (i usually play centre in netball and defence in football)
I’m happy with my dyspraxia and it makes me, me
I also have dyspraxia. Its really embarrasing to have one where most of the time like ive been clumsy twice a week where i always drop some items like foods or fragile items. Nevertheless its so embarrasing that i did in front of my parents. I really need to stop this and i hate for being one.
Sometimes it can be hard too have a dyspraxia (I have it too) but it’s what makes you, you
my son has this but he hates to get changed or wash , any one got the same problem , he also would never try sauces or meals that are a bit more classy
When I was little I couldn't get myself changed, and I also couldn't put my hair into a pony tail until I was around 13 years old. As for the meal thing, I also used to be the same, I hated trying anything new, and I hated it when different foods on my plate touched each other. im 20 now and I seem to have grown out of the food thing, however im still a fussy eater.
pat mcmullan my son is like this as well. He does not like eating very many foods, he has major texture issues, he has a hard time dressing himself, he absolutely hates the feeling of toilet paper, or any paper. He has a hard time writing, and reading. I usually just give him what I know he will eat.
Yes, my son who is seven. He has other conditions too though
I have dyspraxia im very very disorganised my writing is horrible i find maths and other subjects very hard i also have dyslexia and dyscalceia is the baddest out of all of them for me in maths espiecially
Ah.. I wondering what is Dyspraxia, and this video made me understand what is Dyspraxia basically. By the way this video also made me wondering where is my LEGOs.. I couldn't saw that since almost 20 years ago..
I have mild dyspraxia I’m very good at football and track but I just sometimes shake
YDN Temptation I am the opposite I am very dyspraxia and autism
I am also an adult dyspaxic sufferer, unfortunately there is not a lot of help or support for us in the uk.
Paul Valles what about NHS
when your younger it might be bad as this or waits until you getting a littler bit older and it might comes like this
im 17 and people have called my writing ugly all my life, my mother used to beat me for it i was always ridiculed for everything i did and people told me that i looked retarded no matter what i was doing it feels good to know that its not my fault so i can stop beating my self up over it
Ive been told my son has suspected dyspraxia! Hes only 3 and were always trying different things to help him with the problems he encounters! What the woman said about making choices really rang true with me and my wife because if we give my son a choice theres times where he just kicks off because its 2 much for him! People that havent seen it firsthand cant understand properly how hard it is! Anyone else know what i mean?
How is it going now?
don't worry u will soon get it like i have dyspraixa i prove to my self the day i couldn't think i could bancle a cone on my head and i did and i though i wasn't able to kick it but i did that has help me alot
you will if you try here i tell me and you alike i have dyspraxia i get stuck on maths and get really mad if i can't do i don't want to be a doctor but i want to be child carer
@timotei1996 dont worry my freinds dad is a doc and hes dyspraxic u can do it!
I know a kid in my school who seems to love to annoy people and if you get mad he just laughs or smiles and keeps doing it. At one point he kept pulling my hood over my head and I shoved him cause it got really annoying and his facial expression was really weird and too weird to describe.He did that to other kids too. but in class he is annoying to other kids and I noticed when other kids are writing he has only written 4 or 5 words while other kids have written nearly a paragraph(in about 2 minutes). He also holds his pencil weird and takes forever to write and or type. When he walks his feet are crooked and he also makes loud sudden outbursts at inappropriate times that he thinks are funny but other kids laugh with pity. Do you think this kid has Dyspraxia? I'm worried cause I don't want someone to hurt him because they don't know or don't care that he has a mental illness.
i have verbal and motor dyspraxia, i think the verbel part is very severe and the motor part is abit more than mild if that makes any sense?? anyway...i made a couple of vids about dyspraxia so check them out :) and dont forget to comment :) hehe
I agree too,but caged in chaos by victoria briggs really helped me cope if that helps :)
Props to mum for helping me after i fell and logrolled down the stairs face-first into the back of a pram as a kid
I have dyslexia two
I have it
I would add (as somebody who works with children with disabilities and so acts as their advocate), how are they ever supposed to be treated as equal members of society and their struggles taken seriously when even their mothers are still using the derogatory term 'handicapped' ?!?!
>@cw cw...there are two dys persons in my home, my husband and son, neither are classed as 'handicapped or disabled'.......son is attending regular college...I despise the term handicap... as this denotes an old image of beggars on the streets with cap in hand... such kids and adults do not need such horrific judgement... it a cure were to be found tomorrow...my two men would not tke it, as they are happy and content in themselves... I believe that the real problem lays with societies perception of dyspraxia
So glad somebody wrote this, it needed to be said!
Yes, she shouldn't use the word handicapped. Dyspraxia is seen as a learning disability, but calling someone handicapped doesn't fit, and simply calling someone "disabled" doesn't work for dyspraxia because that usually denotes someone with a visible handicap. There is a physical disability involved, of course, but it's not the same as being handicapped, and you don't want to say that about your child as that could lead to self-esteem problems/issues.
i dont use that word
CW CW it’s not a disability !!!!!!
This video demonstrates an antiquated and confused understanding of dyspraxia

Please Help them wish I took learning seriously as a Child. Please protect them they get bullied in school and teachers never take their sides. My advice is make sure you listen to your support teacher and tell them what affects you. I was bullied and still am as an adult. People with dyspraxia or any form of disabilities are vulnerable to abuse. I mean emotional and people who take advantage we are nice people and people take liberties. If you have a friend to talk to it’s good have someone that cares about you just remember there are other people who are worse than you. Be strong.
I really feel that one with dyspraxia should have support teacher social worker
And at least she a therapist to help with the emotional side.
We are so nice people and other people hurt us it’s hard as long as you have a friend or someone to support you. I know it’s hard just ignore bullies it’s unfair teachers let them get away with it.
