What is dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia (also known as developmental-coordination-disorder DCD), is a condition which impacts physical coordination. Symptoms are present since childhood. Coordination difficulties can impact functioning of everyday skills and participation in education, work, and leisure activities. Difficulties may change over time depending on environmental demands, life experience, and the support given. There may be difficulties learning new skills.
While movement and coordination difficulties often persist in adulthood, non-motor difficulties may become more obvious such as difficulties with planning, time management, and personal organisation. With support, reasonable adjustments and strategies in place, people with dyspraxia/DCD can be very successful in their lives.
Dyspraxia assessments.
Dyslexia South offers adult dyspraxia assessments (over 16-years) to identify dyspraxia as a Specific Learning Difficulty (SpLD). The assessment will investigate and highlight your challenges with motor-coordination and co-occurring difficulties (such as difficulty with planning and organisation), and make recommendations to support you in the workplace or within education. Your report can be used to apply for Disabled Students Allowance (DSA) and Access to Work. In under 16-year olds we can offer a dyspraxia screen which can be helpful in obtaining an onward referral for a child dyspraxia assessment and the report will make educational recommendations to support your motor-coordination difficulties if indicated.
