dyspraxia 4


Exercise may be harder to access, some people may only manage swimming, exercise or and even horse riding.

Some people may not manage to ride a real bike. Some people may find it hard to hop, jump, run fast, and even skip. Some people may find it hard to throw and catch a ball.
 Some people may find it hard to stand for a long time.

 Children may be slower to walk up and down stairs safely without support.
 There are some stairs even adults and teenagers may not be able to manage without support.




Some stairs can be harder for some people to manage than others. Some people find it hard to dress, tie shoelaces and etc.

 For most of us, it can affect our lives with not being able to drive a car and not being able to have children because of carrying and lifting. As time goes on support gets better in some ways but not in others. On the other hand with the cuts, the government is making it is hard to say what the future is.

All about dyspraxia 3


People with Dyspraxia can find physical and mental skills hard.

 The reason for Dyspraxia being misunderstood is because it is a hidden disability.

Yet with Dyspraxia being a lot to do with the body and brain, even though it is hidden because people can walk and talk it is more major than those disabilities who need 24-hour care in everything. The advantage is that people with Dyspraxia have the ability though to ask for help if we need it.


There is just a wide circle of skills we find hard. The cause of being misunderstood is the fact we can walk and talk so people think we can manage our lives the same as them.
 Dyspraxia is a Motor skill and coordination disability but it is also can be a reading and writing disability not much different from dyslexia.

For eg, a baby may find it hard to roll over, take longer to stand up and balance, walking, climbing, slower to talk and be understood.






All about dyspraxia 2


This disability has caused us to be made to feel guilty for things we cannot help and also caused us to be hated by the world and alone cause we are likely to make mistakes and mess things up more so than other people.




 The person who has Dyspraxia can feel embarrassed in front of people if they spill something, make a mess, etc, even they do not need to. Most people with Dyspraxia are misunderstood as clumsily.

We understand it is understandable in one the way for the health and safety of others but not the fault on purpose of the people who have disabilities.


 The awareness is good but all very well to raise when there is not the money in the world to support it.



One thing is raising understanding of Dyspraxia awareness so we can be at least understood for what our disability is about.

Dyspraxia is when people are unaware of the world around them. It is too easy to not look where you are going, bang into things and people around you. 

All about Dyspraxia 1


All about Dyspraxia from my experience.
I am writing up a PowerPoint and presentation on the learning difficulty I face called Dyspraxia. Due to it being a physical and Mental learning difficulty, there is a lot to it, which could be easy to be long-winded and no has all day to learn it. Therefore, I am going to put this handout on my website and do a short PowerPoint.




Dyspraxia is mostly misunderstood has been a danger to society, which you are but with the right support you can get by in life.
Due to the physical hidden difficulties I faced when I left school over thirty years ago, I was considered as a danger in the workplace.





All the same, they could not let me do nothing so I only lasted when I was sixteen to say my late thirties in the workplace say six months if I was lucky but they mostly told me I had to say two weeks after I was sent on placement when I was on Y.T.S.



My emotions were mixed because I was not getting enough support and training, so it was easy for them to tell me to leave but then.

I was having difficulty doing physical, such as in the care homes and helping to take the elderly to the toilet etc.

 No one is blaming anyone but if Dyspraxia was understood many years, we may have had the right support and may not have been classed health hazards and useless people.

Possible business plan. Name of business I am yet to think about.


Just to say that this is not a certain idea, just a rough idea, which as time goes on I may edit this plain, which means I may take information out or and put its new information in or and even delete the plan altogether. This will depend on the research, support, learning, training, etc I get.

My name is Sara Jane Gorman, I have learning disabilities and other problems too such as mental health. I was born with a lack of oxygen to the brain. I am nearly fifty – one year old. I was born with Epilepsy, Dyspraxia, Dyslexia, Anxiety, and Depression.
A learning disability training service with the intentions of benefiting those who face disabilities and other problems such as Mental health for example and those who work or and study in the field of learning disability other problem awareness in all areas of life.
How does it benefit people working in the learning disability field?
Which area of life do you work and study in?
Which area of life do you want to work in?
Maybe your area is or and wants to be one, some or all of these areas.
Advocacy = Getting support from other people to help you express your views and wishes, + to help make sure your voice + thoughts are heard
Disabled Access = Able to get access to Your own home – Disabled car spaces – shops – pubs – cafes – transport like buses + taxies + trains.           
Disabled People's Careers = Any Disabled People who are at work, we would love to hear all about want you to do at work, then it will give other disabled people out of work more hope to get a job if they are fit enough to work.
Disabled People's Health Problems = Like Epilepsy + Speech + Hearing + Memory + Anxiety + Learning + Mental Health.
Disabled People's Housing = Accessible housing disabled people with like safe bathrooms and things which could come to disabled aids.
Social issues = Hobbies, interests, Arts and Crafts-like drawing and painting, friendship, dating etc.
Disabled People’s Talent = Any skills you have like at work – Music - Poetry   - Sport  

Health - All about health in people with disabilities and health problems.

Social distance awareness, making lockdown rules accessible to understand different in many places as possible for people with disabilities.
The world has a lot to learn about the coronavirus etc but even more so challenging for vulnerable people to understand, such as having to wear masks which can cause a lot of anxiety for a lot of people, where it may be in the most mask where they can affect the problems they have different ways but they can be at risk not wearing masks. Masks are not the only protect sherds too, but we should look into more research into more protection, materials, etc that may well agree and or disagree with people’s problems etc. 



How does this business intend to benefit people with disabilities and other problems, parents, families, carers, even social workers, and support workers who have supported people with disabilities and other problems?
What can you teach those who are new to the disabilities and all problems field?
Chances to raise awareness of disabilities and other problems who work and or study in the field.
To be able to try and benefit support and find support else where if support cannot be provided.

Whether or not this business happens or not depends on how much support can get from you even though I have to do my bit too.
If this business happens it will be happening in Wolverhampton, I am looking for Disability services in Wolverhampton who work in the areas listed to learn about disabilities and other problems such as mental health at all levels.

Idea for a awareness disability training business.

 Back in 2009 to 2010, I was supported to set up a small disability awareness business by Mencap, Access to Business, and what was then Employment Pathways, which is now Enable. We were called Access All Areas Now but we had the close because Royal Wolverhampton Mencap was folding due to cut of funding. The reason, why I am writing this report, is business I am want to know if there are people disabilities or who read my blog who have a disability business if so I would most grateful if someone or some people would give me some feedback back on your experience so far, maybe advise, etc.


My business idea is pretty much the same as it was last time but under a different name. This time I will be on my own with a bit of support from Access 2 business.  It will be a learning disability awareness training business and I will ofter to teach those who work or and study in the field of disabilities and other problems such as mental health for example. What will be involved in my plan will be for example what a learning disability is. what disabilities are there. Accessible information, communication, disability aids, and more.

Just to everyone know this is not sure idea as I will be researching and also what would be helpful is feedback off those of you with disabilities and other problems and those who work and study in this field. There is no set time limit as such but if anything says from now to whenever most places open back up again from the coronavirus lockdown such as disability services etc. Just to let you know if this happens it will be under a different name it won't be the same name as it was before, which I am thinking about. Thank you.

Children's animal poetry.


Animals.
A horse has four legs.
Dogs have four legs.
A cat has four legs.
Cows have four legs.
Sheep have four legs.
Hens have two legs.
Ducks have two legs.
 A centipede has twenty - seven legs. 
Altogether we have had one hundred and twenty - six legs.

My name is Mr. Ape and I eat plenty of grapes.
So many grapes I eat that I need a plate.
After I have eaten my grapes I have a long swim in the lake.

My name is Mrs. Wormly Bird, I pick up and eat worms.
 I have two legs, not four.
Come out in the springtime to build my nest.
Lay my nest, rest, and have my babies. 
I wake you up on sunny mornings going tweet, tweet.
I'm asleep all through the cold wintertime. 
If I'm a robin, I appear when it's cold at Christmas time. 
If I am a spring and summer bird I sing all through those seasons with peace and love.
I could be any animal that flies. 

c is for the cat, what about that?
I come into your house or flat and bring in bats.
I'm black all over and I try to give you good luck.
I'm a real animal I don't just come out a book.

My name is d for the dog, I get muddy through a bog.
I am fuffy and have soft fur.
I am a family dog and I make friends too.
I love to play ball in the hall and across the park.

I don't like wearing my lead, I like to be free to run wild.
I am a country and farm dog.
With a lead on I will pull you everywhere, I'm so fast to go.
I will protect you from strangers. 

I am e for the elephant with the big trunk.
I have very big long feet.
I am big enough for you to ride on my back.
When I lye down in the sun I sleep.

My name is f for frog and I don't live in the dark cold fog.

I live in the sun but I am bright and green.
I am here through the pouring rain. 

My name is g for giraffe, I'm having a bath. 
My face is very thin.
I have very large feet.
I have long pointed ears and a thin neck.
Brown patches on my body and a long tail.
I have long narrow legs and feet. 

I am h for the horse of course.
I pick my ears forward when I am happy and back when I am sad.
You feed, water, and exercise me by riding me.
You muck out my stable.
Clean my tack, groom me.

I am I for an insect who is a big black spider.
I have eight legs.
I come rushing by without you knowing it.
Some of you love me and others hate me.
Some of you have nightmares about me.
Some of you can catch me in jars and keep me as a pet.

Some of you are scared of me and some of you are not.


I am j for jaguar, I start with a j.
I look like a leopard, cat, or tiger.

I come from the jungle or from the wild.
I purr when I am frightened.

My coat is spotty.

I spend most of the time licking my fur. 



L is for Lion.

He's a big lion with hair down his front and back.
His ears are so flat, but he hears everything around him.
His eyes are like dogs, but his eyes are brown and black.

The month is big enough to have a lotto eat.
