Dyspraxia can impact significantly on an individual’s ability to engage in activities of daily living as follows (this is not an exclusive list).
The individual may have difficulty in carrying out one or more aspects of:-
- Grooming
- Washing and dressing
- Eating and drinking
- Leisure pursuits
This may present at the individual being stuck at a stage in a sequence of a task, e.g., continually brushing one side of their mouth. Or lifting an item of clothing but being unable to put it on, despite having the physical ability to do this and/or an understanding of what they should be doing.
