What is Dyspraxia?

• Dyspraxia is an impairment or immaturity of the organisation of movement.
• Associated with this there may be problems of language, perception and thought.
• Dyspraxia affects co-ordination, copying other people’s movements, short term memory, organisational skills, fine and/or gross motor skills.
• Up to 7-10% of the population are affected by dyspraxia and 2-4% severely.
• There may be overlaps with one or more neurodiverse (ND) impairments including Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder, Aspergers Syndrome and Tourette’s Syndrome.
• Each person with ND is unique in their strengths and with removal of disabling barriers.
• Each Person with ND should be helped in a holistic way rather than treating individual labels.
