Developmental Dyspraxia is an impairment or immaturity of the organization of movement. It is the manifestation of a problem in the way that the brain processes information, which results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted. Developmental dyspraxia is a disorder characterized by an impairment in the ability to plan and carry out sensory and motor tasks. Generally, individuals with the disorder appear “out of sync” with their environment. Symptoms vary and may include poor balance and coordination, clumsiness, vision problems, perception difficulties, emotional and behavioral problems, difficulty with reading, writing and speaking, poor social skills, poor posture, and poor short-term memory.
