This week is Dyspraxia Awareness week- 12th-18th October 2026;
Dyspraxia or DCD is a condition that affects people’s movement and motor skills. It can make people more likely to trip, fall or bump into things, or it might affect fine motor skills such as typing or drawing.
It can also affect short term memory and planning and organisational skills.

People with dyspraxia or DCD often have particular abilities in:

-Creativity and thinking differently with new ideas
Determination
-Finding different ways to do things
-Being compassionate and empathetic

People with dyspraxia or DCD may also find that they:

-Find it difficult to plan work to meet deadlines
-Work more slowly as a result of challenges with motor skills
-Struggle with some physical tasks or activities such as driving, making beds or writing.

Let’s talk, listen, and support better mental health together.
The theme for 2026 is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change” (World Federation for Mental Health).
Talking about mental health can feel hard. Many of us worry about saying the wrong thing, and that can stop conversations before they begin. But these conversations matter.

SHOUT- For free, confidential support, 24/7, text SHOUT to 85258. If you are struggling to cope and need to talk, trained Shout volunteers are available day or night.
