Is it clumsiness — or is it dyspraxia?
In this episode of Brain Trash, Maria Ingalla and Tabitha Arey break down what developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) actually looks like — and why so many neurodivergent people are going undiagnosed.
We talk about:
- Why dyspraxia is way more than just being “bad at sports”
- What dyspraxia means for motor skills, daily living, and mental health
- The real impact on kids and adults navigating a world not built for their brains
- The role of therapy, medication, and practical support
- Teaching strategies that actually work
- And why neurodivergence deserves more understanding — not more shame.
If you've ever been called “lazy” or “uncoordinated” when your brain just works differently — this episode is for you.
