Participants required for Dyspraxia Research

I am a dyspraxic psychology student at Hull University studying the effect of dyspraxia on comprehension. Participants in my study will be asked to complete three online tasks (two reading comprehension and one listening comprehension). The tasks will take 10-15 mins in total.

Your identity will be kept anonymous and you may withdraw from the study at any time. The study has been given ethical approval and can be validated by my supervisor at the psychology department at Hull University.

If you are willing to take part in my study then please email me and I will send you the link to the tasks, along with full instructions.

Your help is greatly appreciated,

Thank you

I am an adult with dyspraxia and would be happy to participate in your research.

If you have not already done so you might like to get in touch with Mary Colley who runs the charity DANDA. As I am sure she will know other people who would be interested in any part of your research.

If you still need volunteers, I would be happy to participate. Just so you know, I am waiting on a number of responses from different neuro. departments here in the Upper Midwest and have not actually been formally diagnosed with dyspraxia, but having spoken with and emailing with support groups and individuals from here in the U.S. and in the U.K. it seems fairly certain that is what I have...do not want to waste your time if you need someone who has a written diagnosis.

HI, my son has not been officially diagnosed with dyspraxia, he is 25 years old and often feels desperate about how hard life is to the point of suicide. He is dyspraxic

I would be happy to participate although I do not have an official diagnosis, my insurance doesn't cover. However everything I read could be my life story. It is thought by their doctors that I may ahve passed the tendency on to at least four of my seven grandchildren as well as at least one of my daughters. I am certain, from what I remember about my mother that she may have passed this on to me as well as another sister.

Hi I am 38 and have dyspraxia with dyslexia. I am a staff nurse and find my job difficult to do at times. I sometimes get frustrated when I can't seem to do the simplest of tasks. I do feel isolated alot of the time and that no how hard I try on doing things I cant get it exactly right and feel that people generally don't understand how much of issue dyspraxia can be though I know some people are sympathic others simply don't care.

I would like to take part in the study. I was diagnosed with dyspraxia 2 years ago at aged 33. My life is very hard, as I find I have limited social skills.

Hi, I have been diagnosed with dyspraxia few years ago when I was 24-25 if I can remember.But as a toddler my parents noticed I had coordination problems and could grab things properly. I was followed and had help for it but they never found out about dyspraxia. I believe at the time it wasn't so common and also it was in another country. I knew something wasn't quite right but I didn't know what it was then. Anyway,I would be happy to participate to that study.

Hi,

I have not been officially diagnosed but from all ive read I have had dyspraxia since birth - I seem to be older than other respondants at 53. I think an important thing to realise is that people with dyspraxia dont live difficult lives becuase of 'frustration'. I think its because the dyspraxia causes the child to feel 'faulty' at a young age destroying confidence and self image - and that is what makes adult life hard. Society is often ready to judge harshly making the situation worse. If I can help at this late stage I will do my best.

I'm a 58 year old dyspraxic who discovered they were dyspraxic a year ago.

First of all, dyspraxia is a cognitive and conceptual ADVANTAGE. The problem is not psychological. It's social. Dyspraxic's live in a world surrounded by Muggles who want you to think in a 'Muggle' way.

Muggles can't see 'patterns' dyspraxic's can. Muggles need rules and steps to do anything.

Dyspraxic's can see the whole picture.

And Muggles have got it completely wrong - they tell us that we are 'disabled' when it is they who are disabled.

Hi my name is Gary

I was never propperly diagnosed with dyslexia until i qualified as a nurse at the age of 29 and got a job on cardiac intensive care. Soon as i was diagnosed i was moved into an area of nursing where i have no ambition to work in (day care) :( No one really seams to care in helping me reach my full potensial and there is no oppertunities for me to back on to a ward setting. I feel like i have wasted my time going to Uni and getting qualiffied.
