Dyspraxia or DCD
The key feature of dyspraxia is difficulties with coordination, but it can also involve problems with organisation, memory, concentration and speech. It is a disability that affects the way the brain processes information, which results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted.
Does dyspraxia worsen with age?
The condition is known to 'unfold' over time, as, with age, some symptoms may improve, some may worsen and some may appear.
Does dyspraxia affect intelligence?
Dyspraxia, also known as developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD), is a common disorder that affects movement and co-ordination. Dyspraxia does not affect your intelligence. It can affect your co-ordination skills – such as tasks requiring balance, playing sports or learning to drive a car.
