You are not alone with Dyspraxia

Dyspraxia may be relatively unknown but it is a common, if undetected, condition, as Jessica Casey finds out

“I type during exams, and when people ask me why I’m typing, I say ‘I’m dyspraxic’ and they will usually be like ‘Oh you mean dyslexic?’ and I’ll have to tell them ‘No it’s different’, Not a lot of people understand,” Sarahann Mooney, 15, Co Dublin.

The Dyspraxia Association of Ireland estimates that there is more than one child in every classroom with dyspraxia.
