The Foundations Aims
The objectives of the Foundation are:
- To support individuals and families affected by dyspraxia.
- To promote better diagnostic and treatment facilities for those who have dyspraxia.
- To help professionals in health and education to assist those with Dyspraxia.
- To promote awareness and understanding of dyspraxia.
Each year the Foundation answers approximately 10,000 enquiries and distributes more then 20,000 leaflets about the condition. The Foundation seeks every opportunity to increase understanding of dyspraxia, particularly among professionals in health and education.
- The Foundation is run by fewer than six full-time equivalent paid staff and is supported extensively by volunteers. Its work is funded entirely by voluntary donation and membership subscriptions.

- Publish leaflets, booklets, books and guides for parents, those who have dyspraxia and professionals.
- Organises conferences and talks about dyspraxia and related topics for parents, carers and professionals.
