My story
"Everyone says I'm stupid but I know I'm not. I wish someone could understand what it's like to be me. I feel so fed up and lonely." - Sarah, an eight year-old girl who has dyspraxia
The Dyspraxia Foundation is committed to making the teaching and medical professions more aware of dyspraxia; and to spread understanding of how those who have the condition can be helped.
Arran was officially diagnosed with dyspraxia finally in November 2011 following 3 years of trying to find out what was wrong. He had to undergo an unnecessary operation for grommets at 4 years old which now with hindsight was not needed. He cannot process information as a normal child will because of dyspraxia and not a hearing impairment! He was bullied at pre-school and his peers did not want to sit next to him in class. This was heart breaking for me to watch and following this, his school was changed. He now has lovely class mates in his new school but he has a mountain to climb in what is still an unknown condition and the Dyspraxia Foundation have helped in everyway possible for no cost to educate his school on how to support and teach him. Dyspraxia is known as the hidden condition and the majority are unaware of the symptoms to spot it, leaving children unsupported for years. What this charity does is support lives in achieving their ambitions without prejudice of being unique. It may not save lives but it has the ability to change them. As a tutored dyslexic who had one teacher believe in them, I know what this means - everything!
“He told me that his teachers reported that . . . he was mentally slow, unsociable, and adrift forever in his foolish dreams.”
- Hans Albert Einstein (Albert Einstein’s father)
