Re: What do non-dyspraxic people think about the dyspraxic ?

Re: Teachers
ok, so i will give my contribution from a more recent prospective. I was diagnosed with dyslexia and dyspraxia at aged 7 in 2003, my state primary school didn't really know how to deal with me, they didn't treat me badly as such (although i can think back now to a few negative experiences that may h...
