Dyspraxia was Oman

[Guest guest]

Ruth, really sorry, was being discalculic at that point and misread

the centiles as meaning that he was only 7% dispraxic ie not very

badly affected.

I wish someone would tell me what dyslexia centile DD is on!

Thanks for the website though; as DS is *always* falling over to the

extent that people often ask whether he's been drinking, I may well

give it a whirl. But it maybe that he gets it from DH whose mother

used to wonder why when he came home from school without a new plaster

;-) and he's still more gifted in the cerebral dept than in the real

physical world ;-) Caro

If you contacted the Dyslexia Institute they could do " The Wexla

Intelligence Scale " for children - that is supposed to be the best

for ascertaining the severity of Dyslexia. We were about to have it

for DS, but the school recommended an Educational Psychologist who

can do similar checks AND also check for ADD/ADH at the same time -

the former would have cost £260, the latter costs £350 so not cheap,

but worth it if it will pinpoint areas where DS needs help.

Yes - these children usually leave the rest of us standing!!
