Child with Dyspraxia: Awareness and Intervention Program

Introduction

Dyspraxia is a disease that affects cognitive processes for planning, executing and automate and learned voluntary movements performed in a purpose of interaction with the environment. Thus, Dyspraxia is a term that refers to a specific disorder of motor development. People with dyspraxia have difficulty in planning and completion of motor tasks. It is estimated that dyspraxia affects at least 2% of the general population to varying degrees and that 70% of this population is male. Dyspraxia can affect different areas of motor functioning, ranging from simple motor tasks such as waving the hand to say goodbye, to more complex tasks like brushing teeth (Wilson, 2002, Pp.23-124).

Discussion and Analysis

It is a fact that the evolution of ideas and the wealth of recent debates reveal a great complexity and even confusion in the concepts discussed. If dyslexia and dysphasia have held the centre stage for a long time pioneer, recent years have seen the development of knowledge, thoughts, analysis around dyspraxia. The recent publication of a full issue of the journal "Rehabilitation" dyspraxia shows devoted towards other publications and seminars, interest and issues raised by this issue (Stephenson & Chambers, 2005, Pp.34-56). Remember that today dyspraxia is defined as a specific learning disorder is particularly important, both in understanding of the disorder in the practical implications on the monitoring of children. The Dyspraxia has still a special place among the specific disorders learning: the apparent paradox is that it is a cognitive disorder, but expressed in fine motor skills, movement, body control, are symptoms primarily "Drivers" that affect the essential academic learning such as graphics, writing, geometry therefore, there is no paralysis or weakness of person's hand.

Awareness of the Disease

Specific Learning Difficulties

A children having dyspraxia, face problems with coordination and development. It is called as “Motor Learning Disability.” Children suffering from this disorder find troubles in executing the activities and actions in coordinated and straightforward style. Dyspraxia usually occur with lingual problems and at times on the level of difficulty with understanding and belief (Stephenson & Chambers, 2005, Pp.34-56). This disease does not have an impact on the child's intelligence, but it can be the cause of creating problems in learning significantly. And that is why, it is known as DCD- developmental coordination disorder and dyspraxia, motor learning difficulties and perceptual-motor dysfunction. The terminologies of 'clumsy child syndrome' or 'minimal brain damage' are no longer in use.

The developmental dyspraxia does not control the movements. The information is not processed by the brain in a way that permits the diffusion of nerve messages completely. Children with dyspraxia, finds difficulty in planning how to do and what to do. Researchers and experts revealed that approximately 10% of people have some level of dysfunction, whereas almost 2% to be so strongly. Four out of every 5 children who suffer from dyspraxia and clear are boys. If the class was on average between 30 children, maybe there is one child ...
