Is it DCD/Dyspraxia—or Something More? Why a Thorough Evaluation Matters
So many children struggle with coordination, handwriting, organization, or keeping up in school—and it’s easy to assume they’re “just clumsy” or “not trying hard enough.” But conditions like Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)/Dyspraxia often go unnoticed, and the impact can reach far beyond motor skills.
Kids who are working twice as hard to keep up may experience frustration, anxiety, low self-esteem, or avoid tasks they find overwhelming. That’s why a comprehensive psychological evaluation is so important. A full assessment can help identify whether DCD/Dyspraxia, ADHD, a learning difference, or emotional factors are affecting your child’s daily functioning and mental health.
Understanding why your child is struggling is the first step toward giving them the right support—at home, at school, and in therapy.
