Nursery nurse just diagnosed
Posted: Sun Jun 10, 2018 5:56 pm
Hi, I'm a nursery nurse and have just been diagnosed with dyspraxia (I'm 32). The main problems they identified were visual spacial skills, processing speed and constructional ability. I feel like I'm doing the best I can but have been told that I'm slow at doing things and people feel like they have to tell me what to do. I know my routine at work, it's more that I don't have a great concept of time and by the time I realise something needs doing, they have already told me to do it.
My letter says that I would benefit from more time to complete tasks and complete one thing at a time, and would benefit from support for visual spacial tasks. Also have trouble with motor skills and coordination.
Just wondering if anyone has similar struggles and any other strategies that help you through your working day, particularly any other nursery workers or similar role? Thanks! Katie
