Dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), affects motor coordination and can cause difficulties with tasks requiring fine motor skills, balance, and coordination.​ For Individuals Aged 16 and Over: For those aged 16 and above, dyspraxia may present challenges in both personal and professional environments, including: Motor coordination: Struggling with physical tasks like writing, typing, or using tools can impact work efficiency and daily activities. Balance and movement: Difficulty with balance may affect sports, physical tasks at work, or even everyday activities like walking or driving. Organisation and planning: Adults with dyspraxia may find it challenging to manage multiple tasks, follow through on complex instructions, or stay organised in a busy environment. Time management: Dyspraxia can also impact an individual’s ability to plan and manage their time effectively, making it harder to meet deadlines or juggle multiple responsibilities. While these challenges can affect both education and work performance, with the right support and accommodations, individuals with dyspraxia can build strategies to manage these difficulties.
Something to let you know
*Dyspraxia
Under 16s: We do not assess Dyspraxia in under-16s. Suspected motor or coordination difficulties should be referred to a medical practitioner.
Ages 16 and over: We can assess for characteristics of Dyspraxia (DCD) as part of a broader SpLD diagnostic assessment. The report can support:
-
Learning strategies
-
Exam access arrangements (e.g. use of a laptop, extra time)
-
Referrals for further medical investigation, if relevant
These assessments are educational, not medical, but can provide vital support in education settings.
