    • Close Dyspraxia & Apraxia

      My Son was DX with Dyspraxia in grade 6 after many years. His kindergarten teacher saw something in him that just was not right. He is doing very well now & i find i can only see his Dyspraxia with his emotions & dealing with people.

      Treatments

      Physical Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      When he was first DX he had therapy on his legs & it continued through his grades.
