CHILD WITH DYSPRAXIA CONTINUALLY ACCUSED OF BULLYING
Hi, I have a nine year old sone who was diagnosed with verbal dyspraxia about 3 years ago. We have not received any additional support from the school other that him going out for 5 mins extra reading each day with a TA.
The problem I have is that he is continually being accused of bullying by some children with out any real evidence to back up thier accuasations other that he comes across aggressive in his speech! This is mainly as he sometimes raises his voice to get other children to hear.
Even though the scholl is aware of the dyspraxia they give him no additional support or take it into consideration with any of the incidents.

I think your child should be getting more help at school. I have 3 children with dyspraxia and they all have seen a school doctor.OT and physio who have liased with school. 2 are on school action plus and get 8 hours a week. The youngest has the most problema and has a statement and a one to one. She also has lessons from a speech and language therapist to help her talk to other kids.
I am at my second primary school and second secondary school until I got the help needed from the school. I am derbyshire LEA I don't know where you live but parent partnership are very helpful if you look them up in your phone book.If I can help at all leave a message here

Hi Connor, you should get help and support from school. The first thing you need to do is get a carer to check if you are on school action and if not ask for you to be put on it. Next you should have an individual education plan written which your carer should have some input into
