Shirley and Andrew have two children with dyspraxia and have continually struggled to get their children the right support and education they need.

Shirley and Andrew fought hard to get their daugher, Victoria a place at a special school because mainstream school became unbearable for her. Jeremy their son, has a milder form of dyspraxia and is in a mainstream school. He has a beautifully written plan for his education that explains the additional support he needs but Jeremy is frustrated as most of his teachers haven't read it.

Andrew feels that all the structures and frameworks for good support are there. However, everything falls down when services try to connect at ground level.
