Dyspraxia treatment in Coyoacán

Dyspraxia is a difficulty in the coordination and planning of movements that is not explained by muscle weakness. It becomes noticeable when organizing and carrying out everyday motor gestures, and is usually identified during childhood development.

How it may be noticed: clumsiness when moving, difficulty with activities such as buttoning clothes, writing, or using utensils, and problems coordinating steps in tasks with several stages.

In speech: some forms affect the coordination of the movements needed to speak, which alters pronunciation.

Who evaluates it? The pediatrician can detect the first signs in development, and the speech therapist provides support when there are difficulties with speech and oral coordination. If a child shows persistent clumsiness or problems with coordination, discussing it with a professional makes it possible to support them better.
