Dyspraxia/Developmental Co-ordination Disorder
A disorder in which there is impaired development of movement skills, understanding of language and thought processes. Motor skills such as catching, throwing and construction may be difficult and the child may be regarded as ‘clumsy’. He or she may find it difficult to understand sensory information and relate it to actions and to plan and organise their thoughts.
