Lori Benson Adams – Dyspraxia, Developmental Coordination Disorder, and Academic Implications

Description Of Dyspraxia, Developmental Coordination Disorder, and Academic Implications

The Dyspraxia Foundation USA defines dyspraxia as a form of developmental coordination disorder. In addition to motor coordination, it includes the ability to plan, organize, and carry out movements and sequences of activities in everyday life activities. Not only impacting gross and fine motor skills, dyspraxia can also impact oral motor skills, reading, perception, and thought processes. This often coincides with challenges in executive functions. This unique, 90 minute course digs deep into the motoric implications of dyspraxia, but also the co-existing challenges that can impact school-aged children.

Learning Outcomes

1. Define Dyspraxia and Developmental Coordination Disorder.
2. State the cause and neurology involved with dyspraxia.
3. List formal and informal evaluation tools used to identify dyspraxia.
4. Identify the impact of dyspraxia beyond motor implications in academic settings.
5. State three strategies to support motor planning, cognitive sequencing, and independence within the classroom, clinic, and home environments.
