Dyspraxia is not something you just grow out of.

You may have figured out how to manage. You likely have made career choices to work around your challenges. Doesn’t everyone?
But then there’s day to day life. The slips and the spills, the constant need to keep track of things missed or forgotten. And people don’t understand that just because you did something once, it doesn’t mean you necessarily can do it again. It doesn’t seem to matter how good you are at your job: the challenges in organization and planning, and even just the accidents, are always stressful. The need for support with some activities that seem easy to others draws criticism, even if you may be helping them with ideas they can’t grasp.

This can result in constant social and emotional challenges.

That’s where working with a specialist dyspraxia coach can help. Instead of struggling alone, you can learn practical dyspraxia strategies that make everyday life easier – from remembering appointments to structuring complex tasks. Or simply being less accident-prone.

It may take you, as a dyspraxic, longer to automatise all kinds of skills…

…from the simple movements of stacking shelves, to writing, typing and driving and the processes needed to adhere to policies and procedures consistently.
Because as a person with dyspraxia you have to think about so many things that are automatic for others, you may feel you have less brain power left to spend on creative contributions.

Challenges with motor planning often seem to be reflected in challenges with all kinds of planning. Sometimes calendars, charts, lists and alarms help, but you might still have this feeling of drowning…

Our tailored dyspraxia support focuses on reducing that constant struggle. Carefully targeted exercises can help improve the efficiency of how your body works. This tends to translate to a reduction in bumps, falls and accidents and perhaps surprisingly, an improvement in organisation. In addition, our coaches can guide you through practical strategies to make life, work and study easier.

Here’s the reality…

It is possible to learn and automatise specific movements and tasks simply by endless repetition. It may even be possible to automatise them to the point where you can think about something else at the same time.
It is possible to put in strategies for managing time, for finding your way… indeed with creative determination it is possible to find ways to do most things. But it takes a lot of time and effort and energy.

But you do have other options.

Our experienced coaches help adults develop smarter ways of working. By focusing on support for dyspraxia that targets underlying challenges, we help you build skills that last – not just coping mechanisms, but long-term solutions that improve both confidence and independence.

For people with dypraxia, there are specific secrets to succeeding in education, at work… and in life

Automaticity tends to improve if you identify and address the underlying challenges that have been preventing you from being more coordinated:
  • The core problems for dyspraxia are balance, coordination and the development of ‘muscle memory’. Because it takes longer to automate any task, it takes longer to learn things, learn new procedures (e.g. drive, ride a bike, write or type). The most effective way to reduce these challenges is to address the underlying body-senses-brain systems that are inefficient (such as muscle tone, inner ear, sense of where the body is).
  • Once those irregularities are understood and addressed, we help you understand how your particular strengths and challenges affect your learning and explore adaptive methods and strategies to help you succeed.
  • And here’s an altogether other aspect of dyspraxia that can be addressed: Getting your ideas heard and recognised. Often, dyspraxics have strong intuitive thinking; they just know the answer but cannot easily explain how and why they got to it. Sometimes others pick up on your suggestion and present it as their own (and get all the credit). Sometimes you get accused of guessing or cheating. Sometimes people just don’t listen, focusing on what you can’t do instead. We teach you how to explain your intuitions to those who process thoughts differently, so you can expect to be heard and understood.

That’s why our dyspraxia coaches don’t just focus on the physical – they help you build communication skills and confidence, so your ideas and contributions are valued. Supporting dyspraxia means more than physical strategies; it’s about empowering your voice.

One more specific secret to succeeding: It’s not too late.
