Re: Hello - new to forum with questions

Hello Heather, I too am new to this forum, and in the same age bracket at 55, and I too am wondering about the value of a paid assessment.

Re: Help Resources List - Updated Jan 2025

Unfortunately, the dyspraxia indicator quizz when you take it, demands specific personal details(your email) at the end and doesn't offer you a score without this.

Re: What are your dyspraxia symptoms

For me the classic childhood symptoms included: unable to tie shoestrings (until the very last day of Kindergarten. Since then it's been a struggle. I miss velcro) could not ride a bike until age 10. I was the worst player on the worst baseball team in little league. Speech Had to attend speech ...

Private Assessment

I have found out that the cost of private assessment is approaching £1000. My question: is it worth doing? I am 55 and have lived with what I believe to be moderate dyspraxia.
