	Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, Following the recent surge of interest in dyspraxia, caused amongst other things by the news that Daniel Radcliffe, who plays the character Harry Potter, has the condition (source), the Unique School Foundation is doing its best to respond to all of your questions as promptly as possible. However, we would ask you to be understanding and patient when waiting for a reply and while the Foundation's website is being updated with more in-depth information. Among other things, there are plans to set up a discussion forum, enabling the exchange of essential information on the topic of dyspraxia by everyone with an interest in the subject - parents, educationalists, teachers, as well as Unique people themselves - both "big" and "small"! Yours faithfully Małgorzata Kruszewska-Przygodzka President of the Foundation » top
