Don't know about schools but you shouldn't have any difficulty coming back if you already have PR.

Does he have pr? Is your pr still valid?

[Quoll]

If you already have PR you're all set but if you have to go through the process again then use an agent that specialises in medical conditions - Peter Bollard and George Lombard usually mentioned in his connection (no affiliation etc etc).

 

Dyspraxia doesn't really rate on any state's disability eligibility criteria so don't expect additional support in schools unless he needs aids for mobility. Even a diagnosis of Autism may well not get any additional support unless it is manifest in significant functional impairment. Catch 22 usually is that if you have a disability which attracts support in schools the likelihood is that you won't get a visa and vice versa.

The severity of the dyspraxia will actually determine what support is available at school level.
