Understanding Dyspraxia

Understanding & Supporting Dyspraxia

Unlock Insights and Practical Strategies

Are you or your child unusually clumsy, struggling with tasks their peers find easy, or finding daily routines challenging? They might be showing signs of dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder - DCD).

We try to make all our sessions work for both those who are coming to learn about themselves and those what are neurodivergent parents. So expect a mix!

What You'll Learn:

• What Dyspraxia is
• Spotting the Signs: Recognising observable behaviours and difficulties in children aged 0-7 years.
• Lived Experience: Gain valuable perspective from personal stories.
• Sensory Connections: Understanding the crucial link between sensory processing and dyspraxia.
• Practical Support: Discover effective strategies, the role of Occupational Therapy (OT), and helpful equipment.

Delivered by our very own Sensory Occupational Therapist: Beth Paterson. Beth has two children who are AuDHD and she has dyspraxia and other neurodivergent conditions herself. Her main job is working as an occupational therapist with neurodivergent children. She alos has two guinea pigs called Milky and Rainbow!

Her special interest areas are sensory processing, Autism and ADHD, particularly in women and girls.

So join us for a deeper understanding of dyspraxia, the ability to identify potential signs early, and a toolkit of practical strategies to support yourself or your children's development, confidence, and daily participation.
