What is Dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia is “An impairment or immaturity in the organisation of movement which leads to
associated problems with language, perception and thought” (Brookes, 2007)
![Page 4: Dyspraxia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b1550346895dd8a541/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Dyspraxia derives from the Greek meaning of “difficulty in doing”. Its preferred medical term
is Developmental Coordination Disorder or DCD (Farrell, 2009)

Affects of Dyspraxia
• Dyspraxia affects each child differently
• Can be diagnosed in any stage of life
• Three types:– Motor (Fine/Coarse) – Oral– Verbal
![Page 6: Dyspraxia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b1550346895dd8a541/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What Causes Dyspraxia?
• Cause is unknown• Thought to be either:– Genetic – Result from improper development of the motor
neurons• Acquired dyspraxia– Through head injury
• No cure

How Can Dyspraxia Affect School Children?
• Hard to Organise
• Poor time-management
• Poor social skills
• Hard to sit still for extended periods of time
![Page 8: Dyspraxia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/568165b1550346895dd8a541/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
• Improper holding of a pencil
• Find Group-work difficult

Our Concept
An organisation station combining a collection of common study requirements, including a
desk and a timetable, all using a helpful colour-coded system, that is clear and easy to use, that makes organising yourself for school
easier

Why We Chose Organisation
• Reduce loosing things
• Improve time management
• Reduce stress/worries
• Improve concentration while studying
