What is Dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) is a condition that affects physical coordination and planning of movements. It may also impact speech, organisational skills, or emotional regulation. It is not linked to intelligence but can make daily tasks and interactions more challenging. While often diagnosed in childhood, it continues into adulthood. An ICE card helps ensure that emergency responders are aware of your condition and approach you with the appropriate support and communication style.
