[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know that there is any need to get a dyspraxia dx if you have an autism dx. Most children with autism have symptoms of dyspraxia. The providers you are already connected with will be familiar with that profile. If you feel like your child is not getting the motor-related services he needs, it could be worth repeating the neuropsych to see what supports could be most helpful and to understand your child better. DS had a neuropsych at 5 and she recommended he come back at 8 and then again around 11 or 12. Finally- dyspraxia is not really in a neuropysch's wheelhouse from a diagnosis standpoint. A PM&R doctor or neurologist would generally be the ones to dx dyspraxia. [/quote] Honestly recommending a child.wwit three very important developmental years before correcting a missed diagnosis (and paying hundreds to thousands of dollars to do so) isn't particularly helpful.
