subject: Dyspraxia Foundation [print this page] Speech and fine motor problems are evident in this condition, so people who have it can experience difficulty in performing even simple physical tasks, such as using a knife and fork, dressing themselves, brushing their hair or teeth, locking and unlocking doors, and doing housework. School is also difficult for children with this disorder, as sitting and standing, speaking, concentrating, remembering, and even social skills can be affected. The Dysphraxia Foundation is very helpful to many families experiencing this condition and lets them know they're not alone and that there IS help.
