this is proving to be much trickier to rewrite than I though. I will try and get some more information and come back to it.
I am having a similar problem with information on adhd as well.

The BIG problem with dyspraxia is that the term tends to be used as an "umbrella" diagnosis, covering not only dyspraxia itself, but conditions that tend to be "in the package" of problems suffered. These can (but not necessarily) include ADD/ADHD, autism, dyslexia (some eyesight problems*)as well as other problems. To cover the whole thing, one would have to deal with each of the problems separately, and then link to each one - a bit like cleaning the Augean Stables! which is why I used links to other (more comprehensive) sites, with updated links which I've taken from my website.
I've downloaded your preliminary, and I like your layout and management of links, unfortunately I've only just taught myself HTML, so I've a bit to go on GML! I'll look at both, and update where necessary, when I'm finished I'll edit my page and let you know when it's done, but I think that it would be best for you to sort the layout!
I'll check out ADD/ADHD links also.

* I know "eyesight" seems an odd addition, but in my son's case he was found to be longsighted in both eyes, with one eye 6 times more longsighted than the other - this was deemed to be "part and parcel" of the condition (although I think that any extreme eyesight problems might le lumped in)
Key: Complain about this post
