What is DCD/Dyspraxia Assessment?

The DCD/Dyspraxia Assessment at SCOPE Therapy focuses on identifying and understanding developmental coordination disorder (DCD), commonly known as dyspraxia. Dyspraxia affects fine and/or gross motor coordination and may impact other areas like speech and daily functioning. Recognized as a lifelong condition by the World Health Organization, DCD can significantly influence a child’s ability to engage in everyday tasks and social settings. This assessment uses evidence-based tools to pinpoint coordination challenges and inform targeted therapy plans for improved motor function and confidence.

Who benefits from DCD/Dyspraxia Assessment?

This assessment is designed for children and young adults who face difficulties with coordination, motor skills, or speech, impacting their participation in school, daily routines, or social interactions. It is especially beneficial for families seeking specialized support for children with motor delays or challenges that affect academic performance, sports, and self-care activities.
