In dyspraxia, which part of the brain does it affect?

Dyspraxia is associated with differences in the areas of the brain that control movement planning, sequencing, and coordination. Research suggests that the parietal lobes, cerebellum, and parts of the frontal lobes are involved. These regions work together to send signals that help us plan and carry out physical actions.

In children with dyspraxia, the communication between these brain areas is less efficient, making tasks like writing, dressing, or riding a bike more difficult. Understanding which brain areas are involved helps therapists target effective strategies to support daily life skills.
