Hi @charliereid123
The dyspraxia foundation would be a good place to start, you can contact them using the link below
https://dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk/contact/
To find out more about what support is available locally including dyspraxia support groups or assessment pathways, you can contact your local Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Information, Advice and Support Service (SENDIASS) You can find them by doing an internet search for SENDIASS and your area -
my daughter only received a diagnoses when attending a special educational needs high school. Before this I took her to see our, gp but they didn't know where to send her for diagnosis, she refered us to a consultant but they were not able to help, this is my experience, also an educational psychologist diagnosed me with dyspraxia.
