Is dyspraxia covered by the NDIS?

Yes, dyspraxia (often referred to by its clinical term Developmental Coordination Disorder) can be covered by the NDIS if it significantly impacts daily functioning.

To qualify, families need evidence showing that the condition affects the child’s ability to participate in everyday activities, such as self-care, school tasks, or communication.

Reports from paediatricians, occupational therapists, or psychologists are often required for NDIS applications. Once approved, NDIS funding can cover therapies such as OT, physiotherapy, speech therapy, assistive technology, and parent training.
