Abstract
Matthew was 14 years old and was in Year 9 at a community comprehensive school. He was at the point of making decisions about the subjects he would be studying for GCSE. Matthew has ‘official’ recognition that he is dyspraxic due to an Educational Psychologist’s report resulting in regular liaison with the school’s Special Educational Needs Coordinator and provision of an Individual Education Plan (IEP) in recognition that he has a Special Educational Need. This chapter is based on two interviews with Matthew and my initial conversations with him and his parents and includes reference to a number of drawings, as well as comments and grades from his school subject reports for art.
