What is "dyspraxia"?
Dyspraxia is a disorder that affects an individual's ability to coordinate physical movements. It makes tasks involving motor skills, such as writing, tying shoelaces, or using tools, more challenging. People with dyspraxia may also have difficulty with balance and coordination, which can lead to clumsiness. In addition, it may affect speech, making articulation and planning of motor actions harder. While the condition does not impact intelligence, it can interfere with daily functioning and social interaction.
Example
Individuals with dyspraxia may struggle with tasks such as tying shoelaces, buttoning shirts, or using utensils while eating.
Dyspraxia can also impact coordination in sports and activities, making it challenging to catch a ball or ride a bike.
Children with dyspraxia may have difficulty with handwriting, often resulting in messy or illegible writing.
