Dyspraxia may be associated to problems of language, perception and thought. Affected children have a normal intelligence for their age but may have difficulty in both processing information and in communicating what they know or understand. It affects each child differently; therefore each child’s difficulties are unique to him/her. Often dyspraxia is said to be an auditory processing problem also.
Problems may show in:
- Poor writing and drawing abilities
- Fine and/or gross motor skills – dislike games, physical Education, ball games and playing outside.
- Messy eating.
- Slow or poor dressing
- Slow learning some skills e.g. to ride a bike.
- Very distractible
- Falls and bumps into things a lot – bruises on legs.
- Difficulty standing on one leg, hopping or jumping.
- Difficulty copying text from book or blackboard.
- Sequencing, affecting most areas of development.
- Thought – with normal intelligence, these children may have difficulty in planning and organizing thoughts.
- Language skills, word recall, communication difficulties.
- Social skills.
- Emotional immaturity.
