It can affect skills such as reading, writing, understanding, maths, English; cooking cleaning, and more. Dyspraxia - SCIPS (work.ac.uk) This can happen to different people in different ways, where everyone's strengths and weaknesses are different. Home (dyspraxiafoundation.org.uk) I have just read many Dyspraxia sites, I was born with Dyspraxia, and I am 53 years old, I am not saying I know everything, no one does but I am not saying no one knows everything but there needs to be a lot of awareness that needs to be raised in Dyspraxia. What is Dyspraxia? | Mental Health | CPD Online College
