Abstract:

Neurodiverse students, including those with Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder face unique challenges in their educational journey. Children with Dyspraxia/Development Coordination Disorder (DCD) struggle with fine and gross motor skills that can affect their academic ability. Currently, the prevalence rate of Dyspraxia in the population stands at 6%. Understanding their needs and providing effective interventions is crucial in ensuring their success and well-being in the educational setting.

This research focuses on closing the gap between clinical insights and the practical experiences of students by providing educators, therapists, and policymakers with essential information to improve support mechanisms for neurodiverse students with Dyspraxia/DCD.

This paper presents an analysis of a survey submitted by parents of children with Dyspraxia/Development Coordination Disorder. The survey aimed to gain insights from parents about their experiences with interventions for Dyspraxia/Development Coordination Disorder and how effective they found them.

The study emphasises the value of a collaborative approach in comprehending and meeting the unique needs of children with Dyspraxia/Development Coordination Disorder. It highlights the critical role of family involvement in intervention strategies and seeks to inform educational professionals about the resources and interventions that can be integrated into educational settings effectively.
