10 Dyspraxia Symptoms
Symptom #5: Difficulty with Fine Motor Control
Fine motor skills are based on the dexterity and coordination of small muscles usually seen in the hands and fingers. The development of fine motor skills helps with the growth of intelligence and will develop throughout the various stages of human development. Fine motor skills involve the use of fingers, hands, wrists, toes, and feet. Examples include actions such as picking up objects between the finger and thumb, blinking, and writing.
Since individuals with dyspraxia experience difficulty with fine motor control, they also have poor handwriting. Children with dyspraxia should only be judged against their best efforts in handwriting. Progress should be encouraged in a relaxed way. There are also some exercises that may help improve handwriting.
