title: Dyspraxia series: Part Two. One step forward.
abstract: Dyspraxia is an often under-diagnosed problem that describes a difficulty in managing certain motor tasks. It's an impairment of the organisation of movement and also an immaturity in the way the brain processes information. This immaturity results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted. In brief, dyspraxia affects the planning of what to do and how to do it and is associated with problems of perception, language and thought. There are a variety of causes and therapy based on the knowledge of these allow affected individuals to reach their full developmental potential.
