x posted - Vitamins,supplements and Dyspraxia

My FS was just diagnosed with Dyspraxia - it is a planned motor delay it is in the same realm as autism, dyslexia, and dysplasia. Years ago it was called the "clumsy child" disease. Threw my week of reading everything I can get my hands on, I have come across several studies that support supplementing Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids (fish oils).

Do you give your FK vitamins, supplements? I will discuss this with the doctor at the next visit - SW says it is my call. The baby is almost 11 months so I will consult with the DR as to dosage and appropriateness.

Anyone else dealing with this diagnosis? Ususally they don't see it until the child is 7-8 and starting to have difficulties in school - so there is not much literature on infants/toddlers.

Thanks
