Hello followers of my blog and new comers too! Since this website/blog went live I’ve always wanted to do vlogs to help it along. However I was never really that confident to actually do it, my alternative ice bucket challenge acted as a tester. I felt it worked enough for me to give Dyspraxia a … Read more
What do you think of this? A little while ago the ALS ice bucket challenge became an internet sensation. Personally I actually disagree with the direction this charity event has taken a turn to. Some of the videos are actually great, however many ‘forget’ to mention why they are doing this challenge in the first … Read more
I want to make it known that there are people, even mature individuals, who just don’t understand that there are others who operate differently to them. See things differently. Sense things differently. With Dyspraxia (and any learning difference) this is even more the case…people just don’t realise that despite everything they don’t know what we … Read more

I am still here 😀 it’s just there hasn’t really been much I can post on. As it is a new Month I have constructed another new title, and all round the outside some positive keywords describing Dyspraxia! What positive words do you describe Dyspraxia as?
I’ve had some time to sit back and reflect this week, for once!
