Dyspraxia is a movement disorder in which there is difficulty in performing movements, but which is not caused by sensory of motor deficits[1]

Its most usual form is developmental dyspraxia beginning in childhood that can affect planning of movements and co-ordination as a result of brain messages not being accurately transmitted to the body.[2]

Notable people with Dyspraxia include "Harry Potter" actor Daniel Radcliffe, Cara Delevingne, Singer Florence Welsh and many more.
