Statement from the Dyspraxia Foundation following the BBC report on Special Educational Needs provision (September 1 2016)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-37047055?S
We are concerned by the findings of a recent poll of teaching staff, suggesting that pupils with Special Educational Needs lack vital support.
These findings are particularly concerning given that children identified as having dyspraxia/DCD do not automatically receive support under the government’s disability code of practice for schools introduced in 2014. The challenges associated with dyspraxia are manageable, and people with dyspraxia can lead fulfilling and productive lives. However, early identification is crucial for children’s success at school and mental wellbeing.
Volunteers aged 11 – 18 required for research study
A research project that has been approved by Dyspraxia Foundation is seeking participants aged 11 – 18 . For further details please contact Pamela Kane directly on the details provided

Another amazing week for our Call to Action #dyspraxiaappeal – just short of a month since launching with all your amazing help we have now raised over £16500!! We cannot thank you all enough, but the appeal is far from over. Without your support we will be unable to continue to raise further awareness of dyspraxia and support those with dyspraxia and their friends and family. We have a brand new appeal video from Janet Taylor, who is our adult advisor trustee. Please help us by sharing our appeal to everyone and remember every pound certainly counts so please donate if you can! Thank you!
