Our Story

Dyspraxia (or Developmental Co-ordination Disorder) is a complex neurological condition with a range of developmental delays in some areas and heightened sensitivities or abilities in others. Dyspraxia is a condition in its own right, but is often found alongside Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, ADHD and Asperger’s Syndrome. The BMA Family Doctor Book “Understanding ADHD, Autism, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia” advises GPs to refer people with Dyspraxia to an Occupational Therapist, who will take a medical and social history, and use a variety of Standardised Tests with a motor skills analysis to make a diagnosis of Dyspraxia, and any sensory processing difficulties. ‘Reasonable adjustments’ as recommended in the Equality Act 2010 can then be made in school, college or the workplace. The common secondary effect of undiagnosed dyspraxia in adults is often anxiety and depression.

Dyspraxia UK is a specialist service of Occupational Therapists with additional training in diagnosing and helping with dyspraxia in children, University students, and adults in work.
