Dyspraxia

Definition

Dyspraxia is a neurological disorder throughout the brain that results in life-long impaired motor, memory, judgment, processing, and other cognitive skills.

Dyspraxia also impacts the immune and central nervous systems. Each person with Dyspraxia has different challenges and abilities. Developmental Coordination Disorder (also known as DCD), a motor-planning-based disorder that impacts fine and gross motor development, is a common condition for those with Dyspraxia. Sometimes DCD is referred to as Dyspraxia. (Dyspraxia Foundation)
