Dyspraxia is the partial loss of the ability to coordinate and perform certain purposeful movements and gestures in the absence of motor or sensory impairments. Dyspraxia may be acquired (e.g. as a result of brain damage suffered from a stroke or other trauma), or associated with failure / delay of normal neurological development - i.e. developmental dyspraxia.
The term apraxia is more often used to describe this symptom in clinical practice, although strictly apraxia denotes a complete (as opposed to partial) loss of the relevant function. In the UK and elsewhere the term dyspraxia is now more often used as shorthand for 'developmental dyspraxia' in referring to one or all of a heterogeneous range of disorders affecting the initiation, organization and performance of action

The exercises given on the Dore treatment programme will make a big difference, even though at the beginning this can seem like an insurmountable challenge to the individual with Dyspraxia. Children can improve dramatically as the exercises encourage the neural pathways in the brain to form correctly.

I would not say it can be cured, but you can help. You need to exercise as in coordination, so depending on age, learn how to ride a bicycle, catch a ball, swim, climb a tree, walk in a car track straight line, the list of exercises is endless but they need to be done daily. However, as my Nephew states 'I am having a Dyspraxic moment' while I say 'I am having a Arthritis hour' as I no longer own a complete set of anything, plates, cups, mugs, glasses. You can if you practice help the condition. However I now refuse to compete with any person who has dyspraxia as my nephew can swim with both hands tied behind his back and is faster than me! His party trick that cost me a lot of money!

I suffered from this and through the help of an occupational therapist(OT), I have for the most part gotten back to normal. It returns when i am over tired or under a lot of stress or pressure It's hard work to overcome, but it's possible
Best of luck to you!
