Getting Help
There is no cure for Dyspraxia and as children grow into adults, there will be different challenges requiring different strategies. However, with therapy, many can learn to cope with daily living so that they can maximise their enjoyment of life.
In general, the following tips will help many who have Dyspraxia:
KEEP FIT
regular exercise will help with co-ordination, reduce fatigue and keep them healthy.
LEARN TO TYPE
Learn how to type to minimise writing
ORGANISE & PLAN
Use a calendar, diary or app to help organise and plan work, study and appointments
TALK POSITIVELY
Learn how to talk positively about challenges and how they have been overcome
Different therapists can also help with specific issues:
-
Occupational therapists can help find practical ways to manage everyday tasks
-
Physiotherapists can help improve coordination and muscle strength
-
Speech therapists can help those with speech and oral dyspraxia
-
Clinical psychologists and counsellors can help with the emotional side of Dyspraxia for those who are suffering from low self-esteem, anxiety or depression.
Treatment for Dyspraxia will often involve a range of therapists and other health care professionals working together to support the individual.
