Helping Your Child Build Confidence, Coordination, and Everyday Skills
Children with dyspraxia (also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder or DCD) often work harder than their peers to complete everyday tasks. Things like getting dressed, keeping up in gym class, or writing in school may feel frustrating, exhausting, or overwhelming.
At Infinity & Beyond Pediatric Therapy, we help your child build the motor skills, coordination, and problem-solving abilities they need to navigate daily routines with confidence. Our occupational and physical therapists create individualized, play-based sessions that support your child’s growth at every age and stage. Your family will always have clear guidance, practical home tools, and a supportive team walking with you every step of the way.
What Is Dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia, or Developmental Coordination Disorder, is a neurological condition that affects the way a child plans, coordinates, and carries out movements. It is not related to intelligence, effort, or motivation. Instead, the brain has difficulty creating smooth and efficient motor patterns, which can make physical tasks more challenging.
Children with dyspraxia may struggle with activities that require balance, sequencing, motor planning, or hand-eye coordination. Early intervention with OT and PT can help your child learn effective strategies, build stronger motor foundations, and participate more fully in school, play, and daily life.
Common Symptoms of Dyspraxia / DCD
Children with dyspraxia often show a combination of motor, sensory, and organizational challenges such as:
- Difficulty with coordination, balance, or clumsiness
- Trouble learning new motor tasks or completing multi-step actions
- Delays in gross motor milestones such as running, jumping, or catching
- Challenges with fine motor skills like writing, cutting, buttoning, or using utensils
- Difficulty with hand-eye coordination
- Reduced endurance or fatigue during physical activity
- Sensory processing differences
- Challenges with organization, sequencing, or planning tasks
- Avoidance of sports, playground activities, or physical play
How Occupational & Physical Therapy Can Help with Dyspraxia
At Infinity & Beyond, our occupational and physical therapists work together to help children with dyspraxia build stronger motor skills, improve coordination, and gain confidence in everyday activities. We customize each session to your child’s needs and use evidence-based, child-friendly techniques such as:
- Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration (MNRI®) to support reflex development, coordination, and improved body awareness.
- Sensory Integration and Neurodevelopmental Treatment (NDT) to promote smoother movement, postural control, attention, and motor planning.
- Total Motion Release (TMR) to improve body alignment, reduce discomfort, and support smoother, more efficient movement patterns.
- Dynamic Movement Intervention (DMI) to help stimulate motor development and encourage the formation of stronger, more coordinated movement patterns.
- Play-based therapy to motivate children through games, hands-on challenges, and fun activities that strengthen real-world skills.
We also collaborate closely with families by giving you simple ways to reinforce your child’s progress at home and support their success between sessions.
