Dyspraxia is a neurologically based developmental disability which is present from birth
Dyspraxia is a motor planning disorder, not a muscular deficit. A child knows what they want their body to do but can't get their body to do it.
There are three (3) types of Developmental Dyspraxia. Oral, Verbal and Motor.
A child with Dyspraxia can have one or a combination of all three types of Dyspraxia and in varying degrees of severity
Dyspraxia is a hidden handicap. Children with this disability appear the same as any other child. It is only when a skill is performed that the disability is noticeable.
Dyspraxia is believed to be an immaturity of parts of the motor cortex (area of the brain) that prevents messages from being properly transmitted to the body.
Dyspraxia affects up to 10% of the population with approximately 70% of those effected being boys.
Dyspraxia does not impact on intelligence, children with Dyspraxia have average or above average itelligence
Dyspraxia can impact on behaviour and social skills
Dyspraxia is a specific learning disability
What is Oral Dyspraxia? - Oral dyspraxia is a difficulty with planning and executing non-speech sounds, such as blowing, sucking or individual tongue/lip movements. This may indirectly affect speech and/or swallowing skills. A child with Oral Dyspraxia may dribble profusely, have difficulty licking an icecream and may have a preference for either soft or hard textured foods.

What is Verbal Dyspraxia? - Verbal Dyspraxia is a speech disorder that affects the programming, sequencing and initiating of movements required to make speech sounds.

Children with Verbal Dyspraxia may:

Display highly unintelligible speech
Simplify words eg. “bur“ for “burger
Have inconsistent speech patterns
Move sounds in a word “tobe“ for “boat“
Exhibit “lost“ or searching movements of the tongue and lips as they endeavour to find the position to make a sound
Have delayed expressive language
Adopt a complex gesture system to aid communication skills
Have difficulty with sequecning words, and sounds in words eg. “Pataka“
What is Motor Dyspraxia? - Motor Dyspraxia is a difficulty in planning, sequencing and then executing the correct movement to perform age appropriate skills in a smooth and coordinated manner at will or on command.

Children with Motor Dyspraxia may have difficulty with:

Learning a new skill
Coordinated movement
Handwriting
Consistent performance
Age appropriate skills
Generalising learnt skills
Timing and rhythm
Learning rules
Responding quickly
Spatial organisation
Problem solving
Using appropriate cues
Analysing what is needed for task performance
Preparing for the next stage in task performance

try www.dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk
Dyspraxia affects perception, language and thought.
Their brain has difficulty understanding the messages and impulses it receives from all senses, and consequently has difficulty in perfoming actions.
The hearing itself may not be affected, but the brains' understanding of what it hears.

relies upon on what factors of those issues. Pitch and tone of making a music, no, yet sight-analyzing music must be frustrating. Coordination of dance, no, yet memorization of the stairs and the order of them could be a project. Writing? accumulating your concepts or spelling or putting them down on paper? All of those are component to government functioning and could or won't be indicative of dyslexia. no one is conscious the reasons, extremely, theory it has a tendency to run in families. (we are in our fourth technology of seeing it in this relatives.) the outcomes could be extremely extensive-ranging and can result something from analyzing and writing to math and direction.
