Hi....I hope someone may be able to advise us here.
My ds is unable to tie his shoelaces, finds handwriting very difficult but just about copes at school even though he says it hurts his hand. He is unable to ride a bike or scooter also.
These things have never been flagged up by school as he just about gets by. He is assessed with literacy at lower than his capabilities as they can't read his handwriting very well sad
He's asking me if he'll ever be able to ride a bike. He wants to do it but refuses to go anywhere and only tries in our garden then gives up very easily.
Does anybody know of any organisation who run courses etc for children who find it very difficult to ride a bike? It would just take the pressure off us and he's so embarrassed at not being able to do things other children his age can do so easily. He seems to be withdrawing into a world of just skyping friends, not interested in seeing them and when he's not on the computer or ipad doesn't do very much at all sad
We have a referral for CAMHS as a while ago he was self-harming (I've posted before).
Also, how do we go about getting a diagnosis for dyspraxia (if this is the problem...)? As he's got by with level 4s at school (higher in his SATS) they are not interested and don't look beyond the surface, saying there is no sign of it.
Thanks in advance!
