I've always sent those with Dyspraxia to the Ed Psych and those with ADD would be referred to a Clinical Psychologist by their GP. The only difficulty is the student often will not recognize there is a problem and you cannot force them to go to their GP. Going to see an Ed Psych re dyslexia is a lot more acceptable to studnts than going to a Clinical Psychologist.
Has anyone ever had students wanting to know if they have ADD?
