Can you have both dyslexia and dyspraxia?

Yes, it is possible to have both dyslexia and dyspraxia. In fact, many children experience overlapping learning and developmental differences.

Dyslexia primarily affects reading, spelling, and language processing, while dyspraxia impacts motor planning, coordination, and sometimes speech. Having both can make tasks like writing, spelling, and organising even more challenging at school. With the right combination of supports—including occupational therapy, speech therapy, and specialised teaching strategies—children can succeed in their learning.
