Does dyspraxia affect handwriting?

Yes, dyspraxia often affects handwriting because it impacts fine motor coordination and planning. Children may struggle with:

• Holding a pencil correctly
• Writing at a consistent size or spacing
• Copying from the board
• Writing at the same pace as their peers

Handwriting difficulties can affect school performance and confidence. Occupational therapy, assistive technology, and classroom strategies (like using laptops or voice-to-text tools) can provide effective solutions.
