How do you diagnose dyspraxia?

In Australia, dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) is usually diagnosed by a paediatrician, occupational therapist, or psychologist through standardised assessments. The process may include:

  • Reviewing developmental history and milestones
  • Testing motor coordination, balance, and fine motor skills
  • Observing difficulties with daily activities (school tasks, self-care, play)
  • Ruling out other medical or neurological conditions
A diagnosis often requires a multidisciplinary team approach. Early identification is important, as it allows families to apply for NDIS funding and begin targeted therapies.
