Developmental Coordination Disorder(DCD), commonly known as dyspraxia, is a lifelong neurological condition that affects motor planning, coordination, and organization, impacting daily activities. It affects fine and gross motor skills, often causing challenges with handwriting, sports, self-care, and balance.

Dr Áine O'Dea trained as an occupational therapist and has spent 20 years in public and private sectors with a clinical focus in mental health, child and adolescent health, and adult neurology.

Stef and Áine discuss what dyspraxia looks like, how it can show up, why a diagnosis can be important and what you can do to help a child with DCD.

You can find Dr. Áine at https://radianceconsultinghub.com/ or on Instagram @dr.aineodea
