diagnosis of dyspraxia on the NHS as a child

[ALADDIN]

I know 2 people who are children, one in primary school, one aged 13.

They are suspected to have dyspraxia.

Can one obtain a dyspraxia on the NHS ?

I think it might be possible for the primary school , but it is a postcode lottery.

For the teen, it is much harder.

I believe an adult diagnosis of dyspraxia is almost non-existent ?

There are a lot of determining factors, can the parents get the ear of their GP and the school to recognise/acknowledge if the child is struggling and their educational attainment compared to that of their peers is significantly impacted.

As an Adult you should still ask your GP but they are not the only pathway to getting an accepted assessment report and recognition/support.
