Dyspraxia Assessment

Dyspraxia refers to difficulties with planning, sequencing, and carrying out coordinated movements. It can affect both gross motor skills (whole-body movement) and fine motor skills (hand control, writing, using utensils).

How much is the Dyspraxia Assessment?

  • £895

We assess:

  • Motor Planning Skills – Ability to conceptualize, organise, and complete new or complex tasks.

  • Coordination & Balance – Stability and control in body movement.

  • Hand-Eye Coordination – Skills needed for handwriting, drawing, and tool use.

  • Sequencing & Organisation – Following multi-step directions and planning tasks.

  • Impact on Independence – Challenges with dressing, eating, or participating in sports/play.

Tools and methods may include:

  • Standardised motor assessments (such as the Movement Assessment Battery for Children or Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire).

  • Play-based and task-based observations (building, climbing, drawing, imitation tasks).

  • Family and teacher input on functional challenges in everyday environments.

Why These Assessments Matter

By identifying sensory processing patterns and motor planning challenges early, our team can:

  • Develop individualised therapy goals that are meaningful to the person and their family.

  • Recommend strategies and accommodations for home, school, and community settings.

  • Track progress over time and adjust support as needed.
