it depends on the person and the subject. For instance in maths the child may have difficulty holding onto concept you are trying to teach them. Following a long list of verbal instructions may be difficult, they might forget half the things the teacher tells them. The best thing to do is to write quick to the points and in clear writing.

Writing may be poor, illegible, and slow. Allow the student extra time for writing. In Ireland (where I live) concessions are made for students with learning disabilities, one of them is to assign extra time, readers, tapes, and "scribes" for important exams, though these have to be applied for and are difficult to get. As a dyspraxic myself I know how helpful this is.

Sports or physical play, catching a ball, kicking, riding on a bicycle, running, skipping, swimming, and other sports can be difficult for a child with dyspraxia. If sports are tested in the school special concessions should be made for a student with dyspraxia. Imaginative play can also be limited.

A child with dyspraxia may may also have problems with their voice and pronouncing words correctly.

Spelling can be difficult, especially if the student's dyspraxia is mixed with dyslexic conditions.

Because they have motor difficulties a child with dyspraxia may find it difficult to hold a pencil, pen, paint brush, or crayons, or scissors, this can pose difficulties where the child is asked to write or do art. These problems will not simply "go away" they must be given special attention to achieve results over time. If they are not worked on even as a high school student they may have difficulty writing at a reasonable pace. ( I know I have to write quite slowly and very carefully in order to make my hand writing legible.)

The child may be overactive, swinging their legs, hand clapping when excited, raising their hand too early, asking lots of questions, bumping into people by accident ( I often find that my balance lapses for no apparent reason and this is when I bump into people), they may ask lots of questions repetitively and be inconsistent in the work.

There are many problems with perception, language, fine and gross motor skills and from the ones I have mentioned you might be able to draw your own conclusions of how dyspraxia can pose difficulties in the classroom and learning.
