We were told we have enough to diagnose dyspraxia in my son but I have not formerly had the diagnoses I putted as I was also told he would. OT qualify for 504 as he is working to far ahead right now to say it is impacting education. He papers as just a non athletic boy with some gawkiness about him...
I see it manifest in two ways predominately...
- handwriting which we privately support through OT and he is resounding brilliantly.
- motor coordination. He can't coordinate enough to execute karate moves, swimming strokes, and other sports well. His throwing and catching are very weak but improving with PT.
But I also see sensory and processing glitches that I wonder whether attributed to DCD or not.
- Sensory he is typically okay until in a new or social environment and then he becomes innate notice and overstimulated. The in attentiveness disappears once he becomes familiar with his environment...I feel well equipped to manage this.
- processing. I feel he struggles when taught specific processes. I remember trying to teach him time and it was like he could comprehend (he is EG/pG), same for subtraction with borrowing, counting money, etc. all of these things seem very sequential and we teach in a process.
My question is whether the above is seen with DCD? I'm curious as in my other post I stated we have not after a year of trying been able to tease out a LD diagnosis. Thus I'm still trying to figure out his barrier to achieving at his potential.
