Q5: What is dyspraxia and what can be done about it?
A: Dyspraxia is sometimes called 'clumsy child syndrome'.
The child (or adult) with dyspraxia may be chronically clumsy
or accident-prone. The dyspraxia individual also has poor
motor skills. For example, a child may have great difficulty
holding a pencil and struggle tremendously with writing. Because
of poor motor coordination, the child may also find it virtually
impossible to learn to ride a bike, or to catch a ball.
We have found Davis® Orientation to be very helpful with dyspraxia.
The 'koosh ball' exercise that accompanies Fine Tuning is
particularly helpful to the individual with problems with
large motor skills, balance, or hand/eye coordination. Orientation
resolves the perceptual problems which underlie many symptoms
of dyspraxia. Many individuals report after doing Orientation
that it is the first time in their lives they have felt 'in
balance' rather than somehow being off-center.
