Scientists aren't sure what causes dysphraxia. Some experts believe that the motor neurons that control muscles don't develop properly in the fetus as it's growing. If the motor neurons don't connect properly, the brain will take a lot of time to process movement information. Whatever causes it, the condition is not curable. However, there are some treatments available that can lessen its impact. If you suspect your child may have this condition, the best thing you can do is take him or her to a doctor for a definitive diagnosis. Once a diagnosis is obtained, occupational therapy can begin that can help your child learn to better control his movements and work with his disability.
