My experiences living with Dyspraxia

Hi my name is Phoebe, I am 18 years old and I have Dyspraxia. I am
going to tell you a bit about my experiences living with Dyspraxia and how the Dyspraxia
Foundation has helped me. I was diagnosed with Dyspraxia when I was 11 years
old, growing up hasn’t been easy. Secondary School was an extremely difficult
time for me as I never got any help. I am at college, but that hasn’t been much
better for me as I am still not getting the help I need. The ways in which
Dyspraxia affects me are my thought process which means I forget things really
easily, it also affects my organisation. Having Dyspraxia also makes me a very
passionate person and the two things that I am most passionate about are
Animals and Music. So when I saw Collabro live for the first time I was
captivated, when I found out that Jamie Lambert of Collabro became the
Celebrity patron for the Dyspraxia Foundation I so happy. Jamie has become such
a huge inspiration to me and I was lucky enough to have lunch in London with
Jamie that I won in an auction for the Dyspraxia Foundation. If the Foundation
wasn’t here anymore it would devastating to so many families, they work so hard
and they do an amazing job giving advice and helping families. The Dyspraxia
Foundation has helped me and my mum so much, so for it not to be there anymore
will be so hard to imagine as so many families and people with Dyspraxia will
feel so alone.
