Medical Conditions - Dyspraxia

Developmental coordination disorder, also known as dyspraxia, is characterized by movement coordination disabilities: however, it does not interfere with intelligence. It affects balance, movement, day-to-day activities like cooking, driving, dressing, etc., writing and drawing, socializing, organizational skills, time management, planning, etc. Although the cause is unclear, it is common in premature babies and runs in families. Cognitive behavior therapy and occupational therapy are the treatment modalities that help in performing daily activities.
