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.
