Pug diaries -The devil is in the detail – dumbing down dyspraxia

He is a gifted and intelligent person. Tall, handsome, funny, capable, a talented linguist and writer, fluent in Spanish. He is clever, he has a good degree. He has lived independently in several major cities in the UK and in Spain. He has travelled the world. When it came to dressing himself however, it was a nightmare for him. People said this would improve as he got older as his fine motor skills caught up. Then, his younger sister same along and it soon became apparent that at two years younger she could fulfil certain tasks involving motor skills, sequencing and hand/eye coordination better than him.

After a series of mishaps with falls down stairs, bumps and accidents he was becoming known as ‘the clumsy one’. Simple – or so you would think. I, of course, learnt to work around the way he functioned, giving instructions one at a time and allowing time for getting dressed and shoes with velcro fasteners were a real godsend. Like this: Un élève "dys" dans la classe. - En classe Pascale ! Je remonte cet article à l'occasion du rallye-lien de "Dys é moi zazou" Il n’y a pas de réponse commune à tous, chaque enfant (et chaque enseignant) est unique, je ne peux donc parler ici que de ma propre expérience et des petits moyens que j'ai trouvé, des idées glanées ici et là pour améliorer la vie en classe de mes élèves...et la mienne.

Un élève "dys" dans la classe. - En classe Pascale !

Les difficultés sont parfois nombreuse car, il faut bien le reconnaître, nous ne sommes pas formé(e)s pour accueillir dans nos classe les enfants différents. La scolarisation d’un élève dyslexique dans sa classe ne signifie pas qu’il faille changer complètement sa façon d’enseigner. Cependant, cela implique des aménagements. Tout d'abord, il faut avoir à l'esprit constamment que votre élève ne fait pas exprès ( de mal lire, de poser des questions qui vous paraissent étranges...) Son rapport à l'école est souvent difficile et votre élève traine avec lui une "réputation" qui entache fortement son estime de lui même. Le cerveau atemporel des dyslexiques. Dans mon livre, paru aux éditions "Desclée de Brouwer La Méridienne" ce 5 novembre 2009, je m’adresse aux parents et aux éducateurs et je cherche les racines des maux actuels de l’école.

My experiences at school – From nursery to sixth form (part 1) It’s been a while since I last wrote a blog post as I’ve been busy with A Levels, but now that they’re over I’ve got plenty of time to write more blog posts over the summer!

My experiences at school – From nursery to sixth form (part 1)

Seeing as I have now left school, I thought that I would write a blog post about my experiences at school from nursery to sixth form. I was diagnosed with dyspraxia at around the age of 3 to 4, which in some ways sounds great – just as I’m starting school, so just in time to make all of the teachers aware! But when the none of the teachers have even heard of dyspraxia before it’s really not that simple… In nursery we were given a ‘keyworker’ and the name of mine was ‘Miss Whitbread’. The thing is, dyspraxia slightly affects my speech so I couldn’t pronounce her name properly. Parents evening at nursery…I remember we were allowed to go and play while the teachers spoke to our parents. “Why has she put a random photo of a colouring-in sheet?” Reception, my first year of school. How Does the Mind of a Dyspraxic Child Work? “I Can’t Help it!

How Does the Mind of a Dyspraxic Child Work?

It’s Just the Way My Brain Works!” Sometimes it’s difficult for us to understand just what goes through the mind of a dyspraxic child and how their brain works. We know we have to be patient, that they can’t help their handwriting/memory/falling over and bumping into things because their brains work differently, but just why does this happen? I’m going to try to explain it in non-technical terms, with as little jargon as possible. We have so much information swimming around our heads (and many of us are dyspraxic ourselves), so who needs to make things more complicated, right? The “Relay Race” or the “Wiring of the Brain” There are two simple ways I think of, when trying to explain how the brain of someone with dyspraxia works: 1.
