Dyspraxia
Children and adults with dyspraxia are often slow to master tasks requiring motor co-ordination, for example learning to walk, learning to ride a bicycle, developing ball skills. Children and adults with dyspraxia often have difficulty doing two things at once and can sometimes find it hard to combine the physical activity of actually writing with the mental activity of thinking what to write. In terms of schooling, these difficulties often negatively affect confidence for classroom-based tasks.
