My gorgeous daughter is nine years old and to look at her you would not notice anything out of the ordinary. She was diagnosed with Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) aged 5, following an NHS Occupational Therapy assessment which placed her motor skills in the lowest possible category. Dyspraxia is primarily a disorder of planning and executing sequences of movement, yet despite the diagnostic focus on movement, it is also so much more than this. Medical circles use the term ‘developmental coordination disorder’ but the emphasis on motor skills ignores the wide ranging impact of Dyspraxia on many other areas.
