What is Dyspraxia..
Dyspraxia is also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that
interferes with a child’s ability with movement and coordination such as tying shoes, printing, and riding a bicycle.
DCD affects 5-6% of school-aged children, or 1 to 2 children in every classroom. The motor challenges of those with DCD can be either gross motor (large movements, such as running) or fine motor (small movements, such as handwriting) that interfere with daily activities.
DCD can occur independently or with other conditions such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and speech-language delays. We do not yet know what causes DCD, but researchers have reported differences in brain development and brain function compared to children and adults without DCD.
