My son was recently diagnosed with dyspraxia, and we have an IEP meeting coming

up. Can anyone please advise on the types of services that are recommended for

this. We have speech and OT and our doctor recommended he either have an aid or

play therapy.

[Guest guest]

you don't give an age for your son, so I'll go forward as if he's new to the

school world as a prek child. Speech is a must (demand 1-1, not group), OT

depending on the fine motor skills, as far as an aide - good luck w/ that; I say

that b/c most SD will not just say yes to a parapro or a follow along unless the

behavior or severe medical need warrants it. Maybe even adaptive phys ed,

depending on the gross motor skills and possibly PT (again depending on the

gross motor skills). Possible integrated prek would be a good placement

(depending on the class - visit first!!) A class that has some " typical " role

models for your son and some children w/ special needs, ask to visit the class

first and ask questions of the teacher. Some districts do not have mulitple

classes to look at, others do. Note that if you don't choose the one the SD has

chosen for you, the SD may/may not offer you transportation. But if it's better

for your child, and you have the option, transport him yourself to a school that

better fits his needs.

good luck.

My son's first year in the prek world (he was only 3 yrs), I chose to send him

to a private preschool just 2 days a week for 2 1/2 hrs a day w/ all typical

kids and we did walk-in speech tx at our SD. That worked out very well for

Garret. This year he's going to the integrated prek at our SD 4 full days w/

ST.

He is 4 and it is prek. The doctor recommended ST.OT and an aid or play therapy.

SD wont pay for play therapy and I strongly believe that without an aid, I will

receive muliptle calls for behavior. If he has an aid we can prevent problems

before they even start. I was told that the only way to get an aid is if he is

severly disabled or is a safety concern to himself or others.

I am so nervous about him starting school. I wish I had money so I could provide

the best for him and it troubles me so that I can not.

I took my son to the Duke Childrens Center and even though I am glad I now know

why I still have no help because here in the US, most doctors are unaware of it.

I am trying to find a good recent book on the subject and it is impossible.

My daughter is 3 and has dyspraxia. I spent a long time looking for the right

preschool placement for her. She will be attending a private waldorf preschool

with mostly " typical " kids. We started this summer with the camp program her

school offers, and it went very well.

We receive speech, OT, and PT from our district, plus a special-ed educator to

provide support to our daughter's teacher. In order to make her teacher feel

more comfortable with the placement, I told her that I would serve at my

daughter's aide until she didn't need me. That got us in, and yet during the

summer we all realized that she would be just fine without an aide.

I also suggest looking into listening therapy, which is usually offered through

OT services. We use " The Listening Program " and think it is better than some

others.

As an educator myself, I searched for a program that would fit my daughter's

needs. I wanted a program that offered a lot of open play time, many sensory

opportunities, flexible teachers, musical transitions, and a circle time that

offered movement.

I do feel that play therapy is good too and if you don't receive help in this

area, there are things you can do at home with your child to help him learn how

to play. Please feel free to email me and we can " talk " more about this.

Sincerely,

Hi,

 

I live in the USA also. I live in the great state of New Hampshire. I also have

an official diagnosis of severe Oral and verbal Dyspraxia of speech for my 11

year old. They are aware of Dyspraxia here. I think it depends on where you live

and who you see for a diagnosis.

Sorry I forgot to add the services my son receives from the school for his

dyspraxia.

 

ST- invidual 3 x a week  45 mins

OT- 2x a week for 1 hr 1 invidual and 1 with another child (work on group

activities and use the other child for a role model in how to certain things,

other child is a level above on certain areas which helps)

5 and half hours one on one aide a day ( not with during lunch,recess,art, music

or gym)

4 and half hours pull out resource room (math,reading,spelling,some science)

mainstreamed in regular 5th grade class for science and history with one on one

aide modifying work to his level as appropriate ( done automatically)

 

This is what my sons services will basically look like for 5th grade come

September with a little adjusting as the need arises.
