Dyspraxia is sometimes called clumsy child syndrome, but it is nothing to do with the ability or intelligence of a child. It is a neuro-physiological condition that affects the motor planning skills of a child.
Like many other learning disorders, its roots can be the result of retained primitive reflexes and a faulty vestibular system. We address these root problems to help correct the condition.
A child with dyspraxia will have co-ordination difficulties. They may have trouble concentrating and have speech difficulties. Usually they are very poor handwriters. Very often they suffer from mixed laterality. Left untreated, it can seriously affect education and also employment opportunities in adulthood.
Over half of all children with ADHD suffer from other related conditions. Our treatment can also be effective for people coping with ADHD or Asperger’s.
Carmel Mullan BA Cert Ed Psych NDT INPP JST has a great record of success in coping with dyspraxia.
