Dyspraxia is marked primarily with a difficulty organizing and directing the body to perform a motor skill (movement) needed to correctly carry out the steps in a process and to ensure that a task is performed in the most efficient way. It is often associated with additional deficits in attention and perception.
Dyspraxia can also affect articulation and speech, perception and thought. Although dyspraxia may occur in isolation, it frequently coexists with other conditions such as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), dyslexia, language disorders and social, emotional and behavioral impairments.
Dyspraxia may be present in people with autism spectrum disorder, Asperger syndrome and dyslexia.
In rare cases, dyspraxia might be acquired through brain injury such as stroke Primarily, dyspraxia has been observed to be inheritable and is speculated to be linked to the underdevelopment cells in the brain known as neurones. The genetic etymology and continuous nature of the disorder signifies that sufferers will be affected by symptoms of dyspraxia throughout their lifetimes.
