What is dyspraxia?

Dyspraxia impacts one’s ability to balance and coordinate movements, and is very common in Autistics and people with ADHD.

Dyspraxia Symptoms:

  • Difficulty with fine motor skills such as writing, drawing, typing, using scissors, zipping or buttoning clothing, tying laces, and using utensils.
  • Difficulty with coordination and balance, a reluctance or awkwardness when playing sports or engaging in physical activities.
  • Seeming to bump into things a lot.
  • Dyspraxia does not impact a person’s intelligence.
