"I always noticed my daughter was a little different with movements. While other kids ran, climbed, and tied their shoelaces with ease, she would stumble, struggle to hold a pencil, or avoid playground games. At first, I thought she was just being clumsy — but the tears in her eyes when she couldn’t keep up with her friends told me it was more. That’s when I learned it wasn’t laziness or lack of effort… it was Dyspraxia."

FAQs

Signs often appear in early childhood, such as delayed crawling, walking, or difficulty with tasks like holding a spoon, tying shoelaces, or playing simple games. Early observation and assessment help in timely intervention.

No. Dyspraxia is a neurological condition affecting motor planning and coordination. Children are not lazy; their brains struggle to plan and execute movements efficiently compared to peers.

Dyspraxia is not progressive. With appropriate therapy and practice, children can improve motor skills, independence, and confidence. Challenges may remain, but targeted support helps manage them effectively.

A multidisciplinary approach is most effective: occupational therapy, physiotherapy, sensory integration therapy, cognitive-motor training, speech therapy, adaptive physical education, yoga, and music therapy. Emotional support and family guidance are also essential.

Motor difficulties can make school tasks, physical activities, and self-care challenging, leading to frustration or low self-esteem. Emotional support, praise for effort, and consistent practice help children stay motivated and confident.
