What is it?
Dyspraxia is an immaturity of the brain resulting in messages not being properly transmitted to the body.
Who gets it?
It affects at least 2% of the population in varying degrees and 70% of those affected are male.
What are the symptoms?
These are some of the problems caused by dyspraxia:
Clumsiness
Poor posture
Walk awkwardly
Confused about which hand to use
Difficulties throwing or catching a ball
Sensitive to touch
Find some clothes uncomfortable
Poor short term memory, they often forget tasks learned the previous day
Poor body awareness
Reading and writing difficulties
Cannot hold a pen or pencil properly
Poor sense of direction
Cannot hop, skip or ride a bike
Slow to learn to dress or feed themselves
Cannot answer simple questions even though they know the answers
Speech problems, slow to learn to speak or speach may be incoherent
Phobias or obsessive behaviour
Impatience
Intolerance to having hair or teeth brushed, or nails and hair cut
Plasters are too uncomfortable to wear
Not all of these will apply to every dyspraxic, and many of these problems can be overcome in time, but also could be met by more problems.
Older children are usually very verbally adept and converse well with adults. They may be ostracised by their own peer group because they do not fit in. They may cleverly avoid doing those tasks that are difficult or even impossible for them.
Dyspraxics can be of average or above intelligence but are often behaviourally immature. They try hard to fit in to the socally accepted behaviour when at school but often throw tantrums when at home. They may find it difficult to understand logic and reason.
Not all dyspraxics have all of these problems, but all have a common link.
Many parents of normal children will say that their children have some of these problems but if your child is dyspraxic, either dignosed or not, you will know the difference between a normal child with any of these problems and a dyspraxic.
What is the treatment?
There is no cure for dyspraxia but the earlier a child is treated then the greater the chance of improvement. Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and extra help at school can all help a dyspraxic child to cope or overcome many difficulties. Sadly, a lot of the skills that we take for granted will never become automatic to a dyspraxic and they will have to be taught these skills.

I often supply it a rapid study then toss it. To be basic, that's form of offensive to me. i'm Catholic yet fairly inner maximum approximately faith in real life (i comprehend i've got written on right here approximately it). And that's like "who're you to assert that i could substitute?" i do no longer like it whilst religions "promote." If that's a solid prepare, human beings would be interested in it devoid of having a leaflet. One time, whilst i replaced into waitressing in college. a pair got here in and had a extensive breakfast. The bill replaced into $20ish. They gave left a non secular leaflet with a dollar in it. i replaced into kinda pissed. "whats up you God-much less waitress, right here's a dollar and your salvation!" stressful. i like what I truly have now with my faith. i've got studied many diverse international religions and have found out plenty from all of them. consequently i attempt to handle truthfully everyone with admire. consequently i does no longer rip the leaflet up in front of the guy. i might discard it later.
