Dyspraxia is a disability linked with motor learning and can impact fine and gross motor skills. It also affects the planning ability as well as coordination. Though in some instances, memory, processing speed, and attention may also be affected. Two people will not present with the same set or the same intensity of symptoms, so every dyspraxia individual has different needs. One of the most helpful ways is to break down the task instructions into individual steps that will be more manageable.
