I am a parent of a 12 year old girl who I believe shows all the symptoms of having dyspraxia. It has been difficult to get a reliable diagnosis through speech and language therapists and child pyscholgists. The symptoms (clumsiness, poor social skills, poor comprehension, dexterity issues, poor posture, mood swings etc.) are causing distress to my daughter so we are keen to get a proper evaluation so we can move on with proper support.
I would be grateful if you could share your experiences with me in terms of what worked best in getting an initial diagnosis, and what a child of that age would respond to positively.
