I don’t recall when I first heard the term A.D.D. I think it was sometime in college, in the early to mid 1990’s. Then it became more common to use the term AD/HD. At the time, a lot of people considered it to be an excuse for poor parenting or children who simply would not comply with parents and teachers. We’ve come a long way – on paper anyway.
I don’t think any parent wants a label applied to their child. But today, it’s more acceptable for parents to explain the challenges they face by using words and terms that people are familiar with. You may not understand the complexity of ADD/ADHD, nor autism. But you know it’s real.
Dyspraxia is not yet a common term in the United States. But, for parents dealing with the challenges of Dyspraxia, it’s a welcome word to describe the struggles their children face.
It doesn’t have to be “a label.” It’s just a word. A positive framework to help your child grow into the adult they want to be. A framework you can now use to help your child!
