Does dyspraxia affect learning?

Yes, dyspraxia can affect learning because difficulties with organisation, memory, and motor planning make classroom tasks harder. For example, a child may know the answer to a question but struggle to write it down quickly. Group work, sports, and practical lessons can also be challenging.

These obstacles may affect academic progress and self-confidence, even though the child’s intelligence is not impacted. With personalised support plans, adjustments at school, and NDIS-funded therapies, children can learn effectively and reach their potential.
