Do you have dyspraxia, also known as development co-ordination disorder (DCD), or know someone who does? Do you want to learn about dyspraxia to be able to help yourself or others, or are you just curious to learn more what it is?
This three-hour session has been designed to give you an introduction to dyspraxia, so you can understand what it is and how it can affect individuals in life, learning and work.
If you’d like to find out more, sign up to this three-hour session to gain an understanding of this neurodiverse condition and learn all about how it can affect individuals in terms of their life, learning and work. You’ll come away with an understanding of the traits associated with dyspraxia, as well as an awareness of the help and support that is available to children and adults who have been diagnosed with this neurodivergent condition.
What will I learn?
You will learn about a range of traits associated with living with dyspraxia and how these can affect individuals differently. With an emphasis on raising awareness and understanding, you’ll find out how to go about gaining a diagnosis and you’ll learn about a range of strategies that individuals might find helpful to use for coping with dyspraxia in different aspects of their daily lives.
You’ll explore the different kinds of help and support that are available for both adults and children, so you can come away with a greater understanding of this neurodivergent condition and how you can go about accessing support for yourself, or for others with or without a diagnosis.
