This week (4th - 10th October) is #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek2020! Each day I will be sharing a fact/some information about dyspraxia. Please feel free to RT! #dyspraxia #dyspraxia20
Day 1 of #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek: Did you know the origin of the word ‘ #dyspraxia’? It comes from the Greek word ’dus’/Latin word ‘dys’ for ‘difficult’ and the Greek word ‘praxis’ for ‘action’ https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🔤" title="Eingabe-Symbol für lateinische Buchstaben" aria-label="Emoji: Eingabe-Symbol für lateinische Buchstaben">
Day 2 of #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek: Dyspraxia is a hidden disability. You can’t tell someone has #dyspraxia just by looking at them. However, you may notice certain traits when someone is carrying out particular tasks https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🌻" title="Sonnenblume" aria-label="Emoji: Sonnenblume">
Day 3 of #DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek: Despite the fact that it isn’t very well known, #dyspraxia is more common than you might think! It is estimated that around 5% of the population are dyspraxic, that’s 1 in 20 people https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👤" title="Silhouette einer Büste" aria-label="Emoji: Silhouette einer Büste">
#DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek Day 4: #Dyspraxia affects the way signals are sent from the brain to the body. Some of the more commonly understood effects are the physical aspects, including difficulties with fine and gross motor skills, spatial awareness, balance and coordination https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👣" title="Fußspuren" aria-label="Emoji: Fußspuren">
#DyspraxiaAwarenessWeek Day 5: #Dyspraxia is so much more than just physical difficulties. Just a few of the less commonly known areas it can affect are speech, thought processing and sense of direction. It can also affect us socially, a big area of difficulty for many of us https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💬" title="Sprechblase" aria-label="Emoji: Sprechblase">
