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. In my day it was not even a recognised condition and the tremor I have when trying to perform fiddly things was classed as ...
