Become a Member of the Foundation
Why should you join?
The Dyspraxia Foundation is dedicated to increasing understanding of dyspraxia. We need to make sure that every child with dyspraxia has their special educational and social needs identified as early as possible. Only then can remedial action be taken to reduce the effects of this condition on the child and on their entire family.
The Foundation is financed entirely through donations and through our member’s subscriptions. The more support we have, the more we are able to support the tens of thousands of people who have the condition.
The benefits of joining
- Join more than 2000 other members who support each other
- Receive regular newsletters and information
- Keep up to date with medical developments and treatments for dyspraxia
- The chance to attend conferences and other events run by the Foundation
- Know that your membership creates resources for raising awareness of dyspraxia
If you would like to join the Dyspraxia Foundation a membership form is available in the download section which can be filled in and faxed or posted to us. Payment for membership can be made securely via our on-line shop here.
The membership year runs from 1st April to 31st March and is renewable annually. Members joining after 1st January will not be asked to renew their membership in the same calendar year.
I would like to set-up a standing order for a Standard membership which I would also like to gift aid. Please advise how I can do this.

I am 26 years of age, I have been diagnosed with Dyspraxia since the age 5. I am interested in joining a group so I can share my child hood experiences that may help other parents. I am now a mother of 3 children, I do struggle with their homework now as my academic levels are very low. My children’s school are giving me great support. (My mum has written this for me)
Im interested in joining the foundation as my 14 year old daughter has just been told she has dyspraxia.

Hi my name is Mark. I was diagnosed with dyspraxia when I was 5. Had help throughout all my school life. It has been challenging for me throughout my life especially with exams as I got nervous under pressure and m hand eye coordination skills. Now Im studying a degree but still struggle with my dyspraxia. I would like to make a difference to, to explain to people my experiences of dyspraxia, how things to become easier once you understand what you are required to and for people with dyspraxia to persist hand do their best as overtime you really do feel like you have achieved something.
Sorry for me babbling on, hope this ok.
Mark
