"Your child may also have trouble with fine motor skills such as using cutlery or pencils and a delay in hand dominance – that is, working out whether he’s left or right-handed," says Michele. "He may also have speech and language difficulties or problems following instructions."Although the exact causes of dyspraxia are unknown, it’s thought to be caused by a disruption in the way messages from the brain are transmitted to the body.
