Dyspraxia Week 2021

It is a little-known fact that Dyspraxia affects 6% of the population. Following the most challenging of times for all children in primary and secondary schools, the Dyspraxia Foundation is using this year’s Dyspraxia Week – 10th to 16th October – to urge teaching professionals to find out more about how to support children with dyspraxia who continue to fall ‘under the radar’ and miss out on vital support in schools.

Sophie Kayani, parent and Chair of the Dyspraxia Foundation said; “We have worked hard continue our services supporting parents of children with dyspraxia, young people and adults with the condition.  Our online helpline and website have been inundated during the past 18 months and we have been fortunate to keep our team working remotely to ensure our regular services continue.”

The Dyspraxia Foundation have a number of live events via Facebook happening throughout the week and a number of information sheets to support all stages of education and beyond.

At nasen we have webinars and videos to support practitioners in their knowledge and understanding of dyspraxia. There is also a handy guide below to help educators understand dyspraxia and what can be done to support children and young people with dyspraxia.
