[quote=Anonymous]I find dyspraxia and SPD so vague as to be useless categories, particularly because there does not seem to be a well developed body of evidence based interventions. Instead I'd focus on whatever symptoms seem problematic to you and finding a trusted PT or OT to work on them. For as much as people like to talk about these diagnoses as if they were medical diagnoses like diabetes, they really are not - they are clusters of symptoms. In the absence of a need for a label (for IEPs or insurance) I don't find the label very helpful. So, address the symptoms. My 2 cents as the mom of a kid who appears ADHD or dyspraxic depending on how you want to look at him. [/quote]
