# 2.2.1 Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia – also known as developmental coordination disorder (DCD) – affects movement and coordination. It can also impact other everyday activities which are non-motor in nature, resulting in social, emotional and organisational challenges. While motor challenges persist, with proper support, individuals with dyspraxia can lead successful lives.
