Dyspraxia, or Developmental Co-ordination Disorder (DCD) is a condition affecting movement and co-ordination. Weaknesses in organisation and ‘clumsiness’ may be apparent, affecting practical activities and organising information into a structured format may prove difficult. Neurodiversity, being the intrinsic cause of all Specific Learning Differences (SpLDs), means that the conditions are varied and each person with an SpLD has a unique profile. However, there is some generic support that may be beneficial for all students.
Examples of student attributes
- Determination
- Motivation
- Strategic thinking
Examples of student challenges
- Processing information quickly.
- Organisational difficulties.
- Motor co-ordination difficulties.
- Structuring written work.
