a word from warren

Welcome to the new Dyspraxia Foundation USA website. The transformation of the Foundation’s logo, look and website reflect a renewed and energetic sense of purpose. We have been so fortunate to receive financial and marketing support from people and families affected by Dyspraxia, who want to build this Foundation and help families all across the country. Things are off to a great start!

Our goal this year is to implement our comprehensive plan to educate the public about Dyspraxia, through public relations and advertising campaigns. In addition, we are working on ways to educate teachers about Dyspraxia, from how to recognize the symptoms to learning how to teach children afflicted with Dyspraxia.

We strongly encourage you to join this Foundation and remain an active partner.

Warmly yours,
Warren Fried

Odds are you know someone with Dyspraxia.

Dyspraxia is a disorder in fine motor skill development that affects one in ten people. Often, you can’t quite put your finger on it, but something is different. For some, simple tasks like handling a fork and knife are challenging. Walking, skipping or catching a ball are difficult. For others, more complex motor skills like writing or typing leave a person frustrated, dejected. While Dyspraxia is a life-long disorder, there is hope. The Dyspraxia Foundation USA is committed to being the source for the latest information and research, a social community for those interested in Dyspraxia and sharing their stories, and a public relations center dedicated to building awareness and acceptance.

The Dyspraxia Fund

We have an enormous task at hand: Millions of Americans have Dyspraxia and yet little is known about this disorder. The goal of the Foundation is to serve as a lifeline for people and families affected by Dyspraxia, and to also serve as an educational tool for teachers and physical therapists. Simply, we need your financial help to set these goals. Please consider contributing to the Dyspraxia Fund. Your dollars will help change lives. Learn more about how you can give and get involved.

Daniel Radcliffe suffers from dyspraxia

“I was having a hard time at school, in terms of being crap at everything, with no discernible talent.” Radcliffe also suffers from dyspraxia, a developmental disorder affecting motor skills, and he still has trouble tying his shoes. “I sometimes think, why, oh why, has Velcro not taken off?” He says.
