More Dsypraxia Research

Yesterday I decided to re-read some research on dsypraxia. It's been a while. Most of what I read before had more to do with verbal dsypraxia then just plain dsypraxia. I started with the symptoms. Found it a little shocking. About half of the symptoms were problems that Lauren is dealing with. It really has me more convinced then ever that she does have it. Here are the 7 our of 14 symptoms from the list. Poor balance, clumsiness, short attention span, poor short-term memory, difficulty in reading and writing, easily distressed & emotional. You could also throw in the poor fine motor skills if you count things like tying your shoes. We pretty much give up and just buy the no tie laces. I remember from other research that it was one of the thing they look for. Anyway, the article says there are a few dozen known symptoms and this was just a list of the more common ones. I will keep researching, but everything I've read says there is no cure, only treatments to help with some of the issues. We still have to wait till the end of July to see the neurologist. Till then it's life as usual. Lauren starts her PT on Monday. then she goes to camp and summer school starts on July 5th. I am hoping by the end of summer, we have a program in place for her.
