Dyspraxia: A Whole School Approach

In response to the new model for allocating resources to children with special needs, staff at St. Brigid’s are planning to co-ordinate a whole school approach to Dyspraxia during the next school year. This is a common issue affecting fine and/or gross motor coordination in children and adults. Dyspraxia may be also be oral, verbal or relate to ideas or spaces.

This approach will be informed by the excellent information available on the SESS.ie website. Check HERE see the practical tips for teachers on that page.
