Dyspraxia Awareness Week (by sarah)
It is Dyspraxia Awareness Week! And as I didn't know about it until yesterday I am trying to spread the word!
10th - 17th of October.
Firstly what is Dyspraxia I here the multitudes cry (ok well one or two of you anyway) - Dyspraxia is sort of Dyslexia of movement - obviously it is a lot more than this but that is the easy way of putting it.
There are other things associated with it such as loose joints and speech difficulties. I was 'diagnosed' with both Dyslexia and Dyspraxia at the beginning of my A'levels - there is a huge overlap between the two along with ADHD and Aspergers. I have posted on this before here.
I knew of the Dyslexia Association but not that there was a Dyspraxia Foundation.
Anyway I will probably do another few posts on this topic through out the week - you have been warned!
