Work regularly with dyspraxia
Grouped honestly: providers can name no more than three primary specialisms — so when a provider appears here, dyspraxia is genuinely central to their work. Within each group, Pro subscribers are shown first. A provider's group is always decided by their own declared specialisms — never by payment.
Online dyspraxia support, wherever you are
Specialist help doesn't have to be local. These providers work with children nationwide over video call — often with shorter waiting times.

Understanding
Understanding Dyspraxia
Dyspraxia, formally Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), is a difficulty with planning and coordinating movement. The brain knows what it wants the body to do; getting the sequence to happen smoothly is the hard part. Handwriting, using scissors, catching a ball, tying laces and getting dressed quickly can all take far more effort than they do for other children.
It reaches beyond the obviously physical. Many dyspraxic children also find organisation and sequencing hard — remembering equipment, following multi-step instructions, structuring a piece of written work, managing time. School can be tiring in ways that aren't visible, and PE and handwriting can chip away at confidence out of all proportion to their importance.
What helps: breaking skills into small, explicitly taught steps with plenty of unhurried practice; routines and checklists for organisation; touch-typing where handwriting is the barrier. Occupational therapists (health professionals who work on the movement and daily-living side) and specialist tutors (who work on study skills, organisation and written work) play different, complementary roles — many families use both.
This is general information to help you search, not medical or diagnostic advice. If you're concerned about your child, their GP or school SENCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) is the right starting point.
