  • I received my diagnosis of dyspraxia, privately. There were good aspects and bad aspects, I think psychologists are hard to communicate with, they did not appreciate and use my background information. I had a cheap deal with a trainee psychologist and a qualified psyschologist. I think the organisation was biased towards children. I felt like being treated like experimental data.
