ToHealth’s dyspraxia-support services help employees deal with motor coordination problems as well as language and thought barriers.

DYSPRAXIA IN THE WORKPLACE
Overcoming movement and anxiety challenges
Problems with balance and movement are typical of dyspraxia at work, or what’s also known as developmental coordination disorder. This is a neurological condition which affects how an individual plans and processes motor coordination tasks. It impairs gross-motor skills like those involved in “big muscle” activities such as running, jumping and maintaining balance. Fine motor skills can also be adversely impacted, such as when writing, tying a shoelace, or typing on a keyboard. Dyspraxia at work often occurs alongside dyslexia and compounds difficulties when reading, writing and making time-management decisions.
For employers, dyspraxia in the workplace often presents unique challenges which may be entirely new. However, we help employers and employees who are impacted by dyspraxia at work overcome these everyday issues.

FOCUS ON:
Dyspraxia’s Hidden Effects
Much of the focus on dyspraxia at work revolves around challenges to movement, but the consequences of dyspraxia are not just motor-coordination related. Living with dyspraxia can also lead to feelings of extreme frustration and heightened anxiety. However, by combining coaching with specialist training focused on individual needs, we help people with dyspraxia address these issues and be more optimistic about their potential and abilities. The effects of dyspraxia in the workplace are challenging but they don’t have to be debilitating.
