What is it about?
Internationally 1-15 children have suspected Dyspraxia. In the UK, New Zealand and the US, speech and occupational therapists and physiotherapists all agree that early intervention can help children with dyspraxia overcome these challenges and be successful participants in education and the wider society(AfasicScotland, 2002). Key to successful learning experiences for children with dyspraxia Drama and mask usage offers the tools to access the curriculum. Through drama being a collaborative, not competitive methodology, the fear of rejection and failure can be challenged and though development of strengths in academia can support children. This paper offers background to dyspraxia, signifiers for identification for children with dyspraxia, the challenges facing schools and practical activities to apply within the curriculum.
