[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]motor delays? At 13? Doesn't it move into the category of "disability" at this point? In which case, it's particularly egregious because kids are noticing DD is different, but your DD doesn't have the language to explain it-- sounds like you are ignoring the issue/s as well. It would be much easier if she could say "I can't run because I have disability in my legs" which would probably inspire kids to be a little kinder instead of judgy. [/quote] OP here. Nope. She’ll always have dyspraxia, but it’s not a disability. It just takes her a bit longer than her peers to figure out the sequence of steps necessary for certain sport activities, and she’s not a jock. Plenty of teens have motor issues. Where from my post did you get that I’m ignoring her issues? DD has the language to explain it, but chooses not to; she’s 13, and self-conscious.[/quote]
