Hartlepool & District Dyspraxia Group
Well we are a local support group for those families who have a child (or children!) whom suffers from Dyspraxia. At last that is what we started out in. That was twelve years ago.We now help families with associated conditions and the catchment area ,as it were, has now extended to members in Billingham and as far as Stockton.In its original form Dyspraxia is actually two words: Dys which means bad and Praxis which essentually means movement. And as a very literal definition that is what Dyspraxia is. However that does not explain it fully. Dyspraxia effects gross motor skills (large movement), fine motor skills (small movements) speach and language skills, eye movements, sensory perceptions and both learning and emotional difficulties. So people with Dyspraxia may find difficulties in doing activities that others may take for granted. Try to imagine doing everyday activities whilst wearing thick oven gloves and you will get an idea of how dyspraxia may effect people.
Along side our regular activities (details of which are avaliable on the relevent pages) we also summer and christmas activities. We are always willing to take suggestions on this within reason, and any activities throughout the year.
