Dyspraxia (DCD) in Children: A Parent's Guide
Dyspraxia (also called Developmental Coordination Disorder or DCD) affects motor planning — the brain's ability to coordinate physical movements. It can impact fine motor skills (handwriting, buttons) and gross motor skills (running, catching).
Their body doesn't always cooperate, but their determination is extraordinary.
Common signs to look for
- Messy or slow handwriting
- Difficulty with buttons, zips, and shoelaces
- Appearing clumsy or bumping into things
- Struggling with sports or playground activities
- Finding it hard to learn sequences of movements
- Difficulty organising belongings or schoolwork
What this means day-to-day
Getting dressed independently takes longer. Handwriting in school can be painful and frustrating. PE lessons and playtime may feel embarrassing if they can't keep up physically. Self-care tasks like brushing teeth or using cutlery may need more support than you'd expect for their age.
Strengths to celebrate
- Often very determined and resilient
- Strong verbal and creative abilities
- Empathetic and emotionally perceptive
- Excellent strategic and lateral thinking
- Often develop unique ways to solve problems
