Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common motor disorder that does not go away or resolve in adulthood, it is a lifelong disorder. However, the profile of the disorder often changes in adulthood. The motor challenges experiences in childhood may not be as important, but new challenges such as learning to drive, organising activities for work, independent living can be tricky. Adults with dyspraxia often describe greater challenges with anxiety and fatigue. This talk will address these issues and provide practical strategies and tips that can enhance the well-being of adults with dyspraxia.

Áine is passionate about increasing awareness of DCD and ways to support parents, professionals and schools to promote the physical, social, emotional and academic potential of children with DCD. Áine is a published author of several papers in high-impact journals, as well as being a contributor to other publications in the areas of occupational therapy, clinical supervision and parent/educator coaching.
