	Dyspraxia - Home Page
		The child with dyspraxia may have a combination of several problems in varying degrees.
		There is no cure for dyspraxia but the earlier a child is treated, the greater the chance of improvement.
		Occupational therapists, physiotherapists and extra help at school can all help a child with dyspraxia to cope or overcome many difficulties, However, a lot of the skills that we take for granted will never become automatic to such children and they will have to be taught these skills.

	Dyspraxia: Encyclopedia of Neurological Disorders
		Dyspraxia is a neurological disorder of motor coordination usually apparent in childhood that manifests as difficulty in thinking out, planning out, and executing planned movements or tasks.
		Dyspraxia is often subdivided into two types: developmental dyspraxia, also known as developmental coordination disorder, and verbal dyspraxia, also known as developmental apraxia of speech.
		The Dyspraxia Foundation (England) describes it as "an impairment or immaturity of the organization of movement," and further adds that it may be associated with problems in language, perception, and thought.

	dyspraxia, dispraxia,
		The word "Dyspraxia" is derived from two sources: Dys comes from the Latin and has come to mean a difficulty with something and praxis from the Greek means action or activity.
		It is therefore a disorder of movement involving impairment of the ability to carry out a motor activity in the absence of paralysis or impairment of the primary motor pathways (nerves) controlling movement.
		Dyspraxia, sometimes in the past called the "clumsy child syndrome" is an umbrella term used to describe children who share similar symptoms but whose aetiology (cause) is variable.

	Dyspraxia - Psychology Wiki - A Wikia wiki
		Ripley, Daines, and Barrett state that 'Developmental dyspraxia is difficulty getting our bodies to do what we want when we want them to do it', and that this difficulty can be considered significant when it interferes with the normal range of activities expected for a child of their age.
		Madeline Portwood makes the distinction that dyspraxia is not due to a general medical condition, but that it may be due to immature neuron development.
		Part of a continuum of related disorders, dyspraxia is also known as developmental co-ordination disorder, and may also be present in people with autism spectrum disorder, dyslexia and dyscalculia, among others.

		Dyspraxia can affect any or all areas of development – intellectual, emotional, physical, language, social and sensory - and may impair a person’s normal process of learning.
		Children with dyspraxia may be late in reaching milestones, and may not be able to run, hop or jump, for example, when their friends can.
		Dyspraxia is often described as a hidden problem, because children with the condition appear no different from those who don't.

		In this topic dyspraxia refers only to a speech difficulty, but the word dyspraxia can also be used for various difficulties with precise muscle control of the rest of the body, planning and control of movements.
		It seems also that children with dyspraxia do not listen carefully to what they are saying, so that they do not realise that they are leaving sounds out, and they need practice with listening to what they say as well as with making the sounds.

		Dyspraxia may be implicated if the child has not achieved (motor) milestones at an age comparable with the norm, e.g.
		In respect of verbal dyspraxia, the critical issue is early recognition of the condition in order to minimise a negative impact upon literacy acquisition and the development of secondary social and behavioural symptoms.
