I learned many facts and interesting factors about dyspraxia while I was researching this topic. Dyspraxia effects the gross and motor skills which I did not know. These skills include speech, handwriting, memory etc. What I found interesting was that 10% of children get dyspraxia from birth but researches have found that boys are more likely to have dyspraxia then girls. Another fact I also thought was very interesting was that doctors and researchers still till this day do not know what causes Dyspraxia. I think that kids with Dyspraxia can improve the skills they lack by getting social and mental help, also getting help with physical skills and action. Most kids already do this but for the kids who don't should do this to improve skills. Getting emotional help can also help the Childs self confidence and self esteem, this could be helpful for a child in school when he/she feels lower or different from other kids in school. Overall I really enjoyed this project because I am really passionate about this topic and also psychology.
