What is facial dyspraxia?

Answer 1

Dyspraxia is a brain-based condition that makes it hard to plan and coordinate physical movement. Children with this condition tend to struggle with balance and posture. It is broken down into categories:

• Ideomotor Dyspraxia
• Ideational Dyspraxia
• Oromotor Dyspraxia
• Constructional Dyspraxia

Answer 2

Dyspraxia is a motor learning disability. It affects the transmission of signals from the brain to the rest of the body. This results in difficulty with movement and coordination. The term dyspraxia comes from the word praxis which means 'doing' or 'acting'

Dyspraxia can affect any of the areas of development, such as intellectual, physical, emotional, language and social development.

Adults with dyspraxia may have difficulty carrying out tasks such as driving, cooking, household chores or grooming.

Children with dyspraxia may be late in reaching developmental milestones, such as rolling over, sitting, standing and walking. They may frequently fall over, and when older may avoid PE and swimming lessons at school or any other sporting activity.

Answer 3

as suggested before !!!

it is when you have a disorder in holding things i have it myself

THIS IS NOT TRUE

i have quite server dyspraxia and got diagnosed when i was 7 years old

Dyspraxia is a condition you are 90% of the time born with

this doesn't affect IQ in anyway. (mine is 120)

this is a condition that affects how your cerebellum's work

leaving these parts of the brain out of sync

the cerebellum's are in charge of the moment between the two side's of the body and spatial awareness.

it is normally the left cerebellum that is the weak one

and dyspraxia affect more males than females

now you have seen where the problems of dyspraxia arise form i can tell you a bit about how it can/dose affect the majority of dyspraxics

from a young age (0-14 years old) it can/dose affect the following :

can have poor hand to eye co-ordination

can have problems with balance, perception, spatial awareness

also can have problems with posture

difficulties with doing buttons (or any other two handed task involving timing between the left and right hands)

difficulties in distinguishing between a dominant hand for two hand task such as eating with a knife and fork

may have problems with writing (down to poor pen grip child may also have problems with organising words and also keeping the writing the same size and in straight lines)

children with this condition may also have problems with sport and many other group activity's (a dyspraxic person can feel most alone when they are in a group)

also may have problem with fixation of thoughts often when stressed/pushed for speed (this can lead to a dyspraxic person being misunderstood as being argumentative)

can have clumsy gait or over-exaggerated movement (usually when running or walking along with many others)

can have a very short attention span and weak concentration

can also be late at achieving goals (crawling, walking, talking, riding a bike, ext.)

and they can also become very confused, agitated, and withdrawn (child may not know why and will get more distressed because of this)

many with dyspraxia suffer from bad short term memory

Answer 4

Developmental dyspraxia occurs when the part of the brain which controls "motor programs" doesn't work properly. This makes it difficult for the person with dyspraxia to control their movements and speech. It is present from birth and usually becomes apparent when the child doesn't develop speech at the same age as most others. It is a condition that is usually treated very well with a combination of speech therapy and occupational therapy. With proper treatment and management children can grow up with very few symptoms of the condition.
