A member asked:

Is there any effective treatment for developmental dyspraxia?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Dyspraxias are difficulties in planning/executing complicated, multistep activities. Breaking the skill into component parts and getting help from a therapist (pt, ot or st) to better understand the motor planning needed and practice the various steps can result in improvement. Seek an evaluation from a therapist.
