Special educational needs

kayleym

Hi I'm hoping for some advice,I'm not sure where I need to post,my child has a statement of special educational needs,he was seen by a educational phychologist,who caried out a assessment using the British ability scales,during the assessment he said he picked up on that my child my having a coordination disorder or difficulty,I can't remember which word he used,I've since had the educational psychologist report and he hasn't written nothing in his report about this,I have tried to contact him on numerous occasions,but I can't seem to get hold of him,do you have any idea what he may have meant by it,

Hi @kayleym, I'm sure Hannah will be along soon to respond to your query, but in the meantime you might like to take a look at this information from the Dyspraxia Foundation.

Also you can ask go for referral to occupational therapist for assessment to diagnose or rule out dyspraxia.
