Dyspraxia at 7

Currently D1 is doing very well. His speech articulation is almost 100% perfect.

He is currently working on language goals: Irregular verbs and irregular nouns (run/ran, man/men, etc) and a lot of thought process things related to language. Retelling something he read or that has been read to him (a’la Charlotte Mason), getting ideas from reading, and other skills which are necessary for writing and reading fluency. Many of his current goals are more related to his developmental delays than dyspraxia, but at this point it all kind of runs together anyway.

He was discharged from OT again in January, so for now we are trying to continue using the Alert Program “How Fast Does Your Engine Run?” program parts that the OT taught us, and it does help. He is still somewhat clumsy, as muscle coordination isn’t the best, but he is one of the most active kids I know when it comes to physical activity. He isn’t in organized sports, but we aren’t ruling that out! Anything that has a ball is something he would like to play. :) He still waits until the very last minute to run to the bathroom, but I think at this point it is more of a busy boy thing than a dyspraxia issue.
