Is dyspraxia a neurological disorder?

Yes, dyspraxia is considered a neurological disorder because it relates to how the brain communicates with the body to plan and coordinate movements. It does not stem from muscle weakness but from differences in brain processing. Research shows that children with dyspraxia often have challenges with motor sequencing, memory, and spatial awareness.

These difficulties can extend beyond physical movement to organisational skills, social participation, and emotional wellbeing. Recognising it as a neurological disorder is key to ensuring appropriate therapy and educational strategies.
