  Dyspraxia, also known as developmental coordination disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that begins in childhood that makes it difficult to perform motor skills. It also causes issues with coordination. While theres no cure, occupational therapy can greatly help children with dyspraxia learn ways to overcome these challenges. […] Dyspraxia can cause a wide range of issues with movement and coordination. Some of these may be noticeable at an early age, while others may only become obvious as your child gets older. […] Dyspraxia (developmental coordination disorder) is relatively common. It affects approximately 6% of school-aged children. […] Although signs of dyspraxia (developmental coordination disorder) are present from an early age, they can be easy to miss, as children vary widely in their rate of development.

  Developmental coordination disorder, also known as dyspraxia or DCD, is a prevalent condition often underrecognized by healthcare and educational professionals. This psychomotor development abnormality in an otherwise healthy child results in considerable short- and long-term health consequences. DCD is the failure to acquire the ability to perform age-appropriate complex motor activities that cannot be explained by inadequate practice or instructions. The population of children with this condition is heterogeneous, and the etiology remains unknown. […] […] DCD’s etiology is not fully understood, but research has provided insights into potential factors contributing to the condition. Children with this disorder comprise a heterogeneous population, justifying the premise that multiple mechanisms may contribute to DCD. For example, studies suggest that DCD may be related to abnormal neurological maturation processes, including the under-activation of motor learning-associated brain regions and altered development of motor and sensory pathways. Psychological factors may also play a role. […]

• #1 Dyspraxia or developmental coordination disorder? Unravelling the enigma

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2066137/

  Dyspraxia is an enigma to many people, both professional and lay alike […] This article attempts to unravel this enigma by: dealing with the terminology of coordination difficulties from the clumsy child syndrome through dyspraxia to developmental coordination disorder (DCD); briefly examining the debate as to whether dyspraxia or DCD should be regarded as a medical or social disorder; discussing the differential diagnosis of dyspraxia or DCD; considering the assessment of children with dyspraxia or DCD; reviewing the range of current treatment approaches in the UK. […] The management of children with DCD must begin with an accurate diagnosis. […] Early diagnosis, treatment and educational support are important. […] Children with significant functional impairment should be identified and referred as early as possible. Early intervention programmes are far more likely to improve these children’s coordination and motor skills, which are then more likely to be sustained and, as a direct consequence, these young people (and adults) will show improved self-esteem, socialisation and enjoy more successful and rewarding participation in their community. […] This paper has attempted to unravel some of the enigma of DCD (dyspraxia). There is general (if not complete) agreement on the definition of what is a fairly common disorder.

[…] Early diagnosis can help children to address and manage their difficulties, and reduce the impact of the condition by helping them catch up with their peers. […] Children with dyspraxia also benefit from extra help at school, where it is important that they are encouraged to do the things they find difficult, rather than being allowed to avoid them. […] If dyspraxia is diagnosed and treated as early as possible in a child’s life, they will have a greater chance of improvement.
