Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2026
Have you ever wondered why everyday tasks can be more challenging for some people than others? 💬
Dyspraxia can affect coordination and motor skills, making activities such as handwriting, dressing, and organising tasks more difficult.
Dyspraxia is not a lack of intelligence, effort, or potential. It is a developmental concern that can be worked on. 💙
How can occupational therapy help?
At KidsFirst, we support children in developing essential skills through meaningful, purposeful, and play-based activities.
🖐️ Practising everyday skills step by step
🎯 Building motor planning and coordination through fun, engaging activities
⚖️ Developing balance and body awareness through movement and play
📝 Exploring strategies and adaptations to make everyday tasks more manageable
📋 Supporting routines and participation in daily activities
🌱 Building confidence and independence at each child’s own pace
Every person has different strengths, needs, and goals. OT helps identify strategies that work for the individual. It is about transforming the intention to meaningful participation through coordinated work of the nervous system 💪🏻
Let's replace judgement with understanding and create environments where everyone has the opportunity to participate and thrive. 💙
