Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder)
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) refers to challenges 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).
A Dyspraxia Assessment helps us understand an individual’s motor strengths and challenges so we can support their confidence and independence.
What We Assess
Motor planning:
How the individual learns, organises and carries out new or complex tasks.
Coordination & balance:
Stability, posture, and whole-body movement.
Hand-eye coordination:
Skills needed for handwriting, drawing, and using tools.
Sequencing & organisation:
Following multi-step instructions and planning tasks.
Impact on independence:
How motor challenges affect dressing, eating, sports, and play.
What the Assessment Involves
Our assessments are bespoke and always based on what the individual hopes to gain:
Standardised motor assessments (e.g., BOT-3, SPM-2, and the DCDQ).
Play-based and functional observations, such as building, climbing, drawing, or imitation tasks.
Input from parents and teachers about everyday challenges at home and school.
A report outlining motor strengths, challenges, and practical recommendations.
A feedback session to discuss findings and next steps.

I had a very positive experience with Autism Services Group from start to finish. I made an enquiry about an ADHD assessment and received a call back to answer any of my questions, I then booked my assessment and was guided through every step by the very helpful staff. Thank you!

I recently had an autism assessment and giving I was really nervous and anxious about the assessment the team were excellent, they put me at ease and the process seemed less daunting, I would highly recommend this service to anyone thinking about going for a private assessment

We have used Autism Services Group for both an adult and child combined assessment of autism and ADHD. We would heartily recommend them. We have found the team responsive, empathetic, clear, concise and simply easy to interact with. The process is quite intense, but the outcomes and recommendations were incredibly helpful. We also feel the team were very balanced, thorough and evidence-based. This really helps reassure us of the quality and gives us confidence in using the recommendations and diagnosis. Thanks again!

From the very beginning, the communication and support from ASG before the appointment were fantastic — the team made everything clear, organised and easy to understand, which really helped put me at ease.
I felt genuinely listened to throughout, and the assessment was carried out with care, empathy and without judgement. The conversations felt relaxed and supportive whilst still being very thorough and informative.
