writeinterventions: Dyspraxia; what is it and how do Occupational Therapists help it? Clumsy. Accident prone. Klutz. Too big for her body. Poor Coordination. These are all terms you might have heard to describe a child who has dyspraxia, which is a developmental coordination disorder.  It is the partial loss (as opposed to complete inability) to coordinate and perform motor tasks. Tasks like handwriting, using scissors, throwing and catching a ball, hopping, running and jumping, riding a two wheeled bike, and self care tasks like getting dressed and brushing teeth are the sort of things that can be impacted. With dyspraxia, the underlying motor and sensory systems are intact, and the cause of the motor coordination problem is largely unknown.  It can be associated with delays in development or acquired as in brain injury, including stroke. Dyspraxia is more common in boys than girls and is estimated that 1 in 30 people may have it.  Occupational therapists typically address this from a motor planning perspective.  Occupational therapists are experts at setting up therapy activities that ensure children succeed in the task at hand. Once a child experiences success with a certain task, a positive feedback loop is formed, an then that motor plan is repeated so that it can become automated, without poor coordination being in the picture, or at least in a much reduced way.
