Jackson is seven years old and has been referred to the community paediatric clinic by the school nurse. School staff are concerned that his learning is falling behind that of his peers. He seems to have a very short attention span. They are wondering whether he might have ADHD or dyspraxia and whether there is a medical cause to be found for his difficulties with learning.
