For parents

When your child is diagnosed as having developmental dyspraxia you may feel many emotions: shock, relief, isolation. You will want to know how best to help your child and how to plan for the years ahead. You may also wonder how your family is going to cope with the child who has dyspraxia - especially his or her brothers and sisters.

Many parents feel guilt and anger about their child's condition. It is important to recognise that dyspraxia is not anyone's fault. Although there is no cure there are many things that you can do to give practical help and support to your child.

This website explains What is dyspraxia? and gives some suggestions on what to do as a parent of a child with dyspraxia.
