Co-Existing Conditions

It is common for people with Dyspraxia to have symptoms of other disabilities.

Co-Existing Disabilities

Overseas research suggests that those with Dyspraxia may also have:
  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
  • Autism
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyscalculia (difficulty understanding maths)

Pyschologically

Those with Dyspraxia may also suffer from anxiety, low self-esteem and/or depression.
Child psychiatrists can help children with a comprehensive psychological-educational evaluation to identify these learning disabilities. It is important that children receive a complete diagnosis of their conditions so that they can be addressed together.

Visually

It is also common for those with Dyspraxia to have visual issues such as changing focus, issues with coordinating both their eyes to look at something together or inadequate tracking skills.
A Developmental Optometrist can help to diagnose any visual issues.
