How does dyspraxia affect talking?
Yes a child with dyspraxia will find it hard to form words and join sounds together correctly. Some sound combinations will appear to be impossible for them to say.
Dyspraxia can be difficult to diagnose as it affects lots of different body functions, it can occur as part of another syndrome and symptoms can overlap with other disorders such as dyslexia.
The diagnosis is mainly done on observation of the child's behaviour and symptoms and by using standardised tests. Neurological or neurodevelopmental evaluations can also be useful in the diagnosis of dyspraxia.
The main criteria used when diagnosing dyspraxia are:
* There is significant impairment in the development of motor coordination
* The coordination difficulties are not due to other conditions such as cerebral palsy. * The impaired coordination significantly impacts on normal daily living or academic achievement.

Why is it important to know about dyslexia?
It is important to know what the word "dyslexia" means. It is a very general term that means someone has difficulty with reading and, usually, spelling and written language.
Depending on how strictly the term dyslexia is used, research shows that 5% to 10% of the population struggles with this issue. In just the US alone, that means 15 to 30 million people are dealing with dyslexia.
So knowing about dyslexia is extremely important if we're going to help those kids and adults. Also, we know now that problems with reading, spelling and writing are almost always due to an underlying weakness in language processing in the brain. More simply, their brain is wired differently in ways that make learning to read harder.
Now that we know that dyslexia is caused by weaknesses in language processing, specifically phonological processing (think phonics), we can now develop tools and programs to help people who struggling in this area.

How do you get tested to see if you are dyslexic?
For ADD, you can begin with an online. There is no biopsy or blood test. Neither is there an EKG or X-ray.
ADD is not a disease. It is simply a way of brain wiring, just as there are different amounts of melanin in peoples' skin, resulting in differing shades.
ADD tends to help people multi-task, at the sacrifice of attention-to-detail. Attention span for boring subjects is also shortened.
Medicines only address the depression that adults acquire from coping with the difference, and help extend the amount of time they can focus, AFTER the person uses self-discipline to begin the boring task or study.
Are there affects to dyslexia?
