“Developmental Dyspraxia is an impairment or immaturity of the organisation of movement. It is an immaturity in the way that the brain processes information, which results in messages not being properly or fully transmitted. Dyspraxia affects the planning of what to do and how to do it. It is associated with problems of perception, language and thought. Dyspraxia is thought to affect up to ten per cent of the population and up to two per cent severely. Statistically, it is likely that there is one child in every class of 30 children.” Dyspraxia Foundation, 2006

To be able to write in a clear and neat style is important. Children will find it difficult to reach their true potential if they have not gained a good mastery of this skill. Children learn to write, or move from print to joined writing, during hourly handwriting sessions.
