Dyspraxic Adults

Dyspraxia exaggerated by yasmin? Does anyone have any experience of this? I am on it because of spots, but since about 2 weeks ago (started around 4 weeks) I feel that my co-ordination has got even worse than it is already! Lets put it this way: Today I: 1) Smashed a glass 2) knocked over a glass 3 ...

Hi everyone,

I am having a home OT assement on tuesday to try and find out what support I need for uni - what can I expect? Will it be similar to the one I had nearly two years ago with the weird pegs in the box?

Thanks in advance

I am applying to ucas to study web design. I am so confused! It says loads of things and dyspraxia can come into so many of them! It says: - Specific Learning Difficulty - Blind/Partially Sighted - Deaf/Hard of hearing - You use a wheelchair/mobility problems - Mental health difficulties - You have ...

Hi guys,

I thought I would tell you that for my uni help I have to have a up-to-date pschologist assement, and my mum is just arranging an appt, and I just wondered, what should I expect?

How long do they last? What do I do? What do they do?

We must be the awkard ones to stump the test

Anyhow, I have a pysch appt coming up, and will ping back with more info!

I can help with any web/graphic design

However, I know my processing speed isn't that great, and so is my STM ...

It sounds fantastic Ruby! There is definately progress being made in the support that dyspraxic people get offered!

I know! My mum nearly cried lol

Can't wait!

Hi guys! I just thought I would ask if anyone here has experience of staffs uni. I am hoping to do Web Design there next year. The reason I ask is they seem to be incredibley Dyspraxia friendly. They have 400 people there with the condition or a related ASD. I went to their open day, and had a chat ...

Hello Ruby (it's Charlotte from dyspraxic teens in case you didn't know) My most recent diagnosis is non verbal learning disorder (or NVLD) after my diagnostic assessment at Uni. I'd never really had a 'full' assessment before and the results were that my verbal skills are average and my ...

Thanks! Tis always good to learn something new! I'll take some of your sense of smell issues - I pretty much don't have one, being plagued with nasal polyps, so I'll swap you, if you like ;) Only stuff I can smell is (bizarrely enough) fruit and poo! What a combination! Nah, I'll pass lol! It is ...
