developmental disorder that affects motor coordination in children and adults. People with dyspraxia have difficulties planning and executing voluntary movements, which can make sports practice more complex. Symptoms typically include poor coordination, balance difficulties, weak fine motor skills, and altered spatial perception. But this does not mean that sports are inaccessible \u2014 on the contrary, with proper support, physical activity is one of the best interventions available for dyspraxia.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"stats-grid\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">5-7%<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Of children have motor coordination disorders (DCD)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">Motor Skills<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Gross and fine \u2014 both are improved by adapted physical activity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">Routine<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Regularity is key \u2014 2 sessions per week produce measurable results<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">COCO<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">DYS and dyspraxia adapted application \u2014 integrated sports break<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>However, despite these real obstacles, sports practice is not only possible for dyspraxic people \u2014 it is highly recommended. The benefits far outweigh the initial difficulties, provided that the right activities are chosen, the supervision is adapted, and a progressive and caring approach is adopted. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of recommended sports, effective strategies, and tools to make sports a positive and transformative experience for people with dyspraxia.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bienfaits\">1. The Benefits of Physical Activity for Dyspraxic People<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Improvement of coordination and motor skills<\/h3>\n<p><pee>People with dyspraxia can benefit from regular physical activity. By performing specific exercises, they can gradually develop their motor skills and improve their coordination. For example, ball games can help improve hand-eye coordination and the precision of movements. The brain is plastic \u2014 with regular and well-adapted practice, it creates new motor connections that gradually compensate for the movement planning difficulties characteristic of dyspraxia.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Boosting self-confidence and self-esteem<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Physical activity can also have a positive impact on the self-confidence and self-esteem of people with dyspraxia. By succeeding in performing movements or actions they thought impossible, they gain confidence and feel proud of their achievements. Learning to ride a bike can be a challenge for a dyspraxic person, but by achieving it, they strengthen their confidence in their abilities. These motor successes have effects that generalize \u2014 the child who succeeds in riding a bike develops a perception of themselves as “capable of learning new things” that benefits all other areas of their life.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Reduction of stress and anxiety<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Engaging in physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety in people with dyspraxia. By focusing on their movements during exercise, they can relax and decrease their stress levels. Additionally, physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins \u2014 hormones of well-being \u2014 which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. For dyspraxic children, often anxious about not succeeding in motor activities, a safe and caring sports practice can be particularly transformative.<\/pee><pee>The benefits of physical activity for dyspraxia are documented by research in neuroscience and developmental psychology. A 2019 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics showed that structured motor interventions produce significant improvements in motor skills in children with DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder \u2014 the clinical term for dyspraxia), with effects that persist over time. These results support the importance of regular and adapted practice rather than avoiding physical activities for fear of difficulties.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sports-recommandes\">2. Recommended Sports for Dyspraxic People<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Simple individual sports<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Swimming is an excellent sport for people with dyspraxia. It allows them to focus on their own movements in the water, without having to interact with other players. The water provides natural resistance that helps improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in the water are smoother and less restrictive, making them easier to execute. Additionally, the repetitive nature of swimming movements promotes their gradual integration into the motor repertoire.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udeb4 Cycling<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Cycling not only offers physical benefits but also allows people with dyspraxia to develop their motor skills by pedaling and focusing on the route. It is recommended to start with stabilizer wheels to help develop balance gradually. Outdoor cycling also develops eye-environment coordination and spatial anticipation.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Running<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>While running, people with dyspraxia can work on their coordination and balance while progressing at their own pace. Running is accessible, does not require complex equipment, and progress is easily measurable (distance, time). For beginners, it is recommended to start with brisk walking and then gradually incorporate running.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd38 Gymnastics and Circus Arts<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Gymnastics helps strengthen flexibility and coordination of movements. Exercises are done at one’s own pace, which is ideal for people with dyspraxia. Circus arts \u2014 juggling, simple acrobatics, balance \u2014 are also particularly recommended as they break down movements into clear and progressive sequences.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Team Sports with Simple Rules<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd3e Simplified Handball<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Handball primarily requires skill and coordination to catch and throw the ball. With simplified rules and appropriate guidance, it can be practiced by people with dyspraxia. Emphasizing cooperation rather than competition helps reduce pressure.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfd0 Adapted Volleyball<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>People with dyspraxia can focus on the basic gestures of volleyball \u2014 serving or returning the ball \u2014 without worrying about all the complex rules. Playing with a suitably sized ball and in a supportive team creates an inclusive and stimulating environment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>The key in choosing a sport for a person with dyspraxia is to prioritize activities that allow them to progress at their own pace, without initially relying on coordination with other players, with simple and predictable rules, and in a supportive environment where mistakes are accepted. Once the motor skills are developed in this secure setting, gradually expanding to more complex or team sports becomes possible and enriching.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"strategies\">3. Strategies to Facilitate Sports Practice<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:20px 0;text-align:center\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abcdhe-143.jpg\" alt=\"Dyspraxia sports strategies motor coordination\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:70%;border-radius:16px;box-shadow:0 8px 30px rgba(0,0,0,.1);margin:0 auto;\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udd04 Repetition of Movements<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>The repetition of movements is essential to help people with dyspraxia acquire new motor skills. By regularly repeating specific movements, they can gradually improve their coordination and self-confidence. Repetition should be carefully dosed \u2014 enough times to anchor the gesture, but not to the point of discouraging or exhausting.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Visualization of movements<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Visualization can also be helpful. By mentally imagining the movements before executing them, dyspraxic individuals can better understand the necessary steps and anticipate the actions to be performed. This can help improve coordination and reduce anxiety related to sports practice. Clear verbal instructions, breaking down each gesture into simple steps, effectively complement visualization.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfbe Use of appropriate tools<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>The use of appropriate tools can facilitate sports practice. For example, a lighter racket or a larger ball can make tennis more accessible. A bike with stabilizers or a swimming board can help improve balance and coordination. These equipment adaptations reduce the cognitive load related to mastering the material, allowing focus on the gesture itself.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcdd Decomposition of gestures<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>For dyspraxic individuals, complex movements must be broken down into simple sequences and learned step by step. \u201cFirst, place your feet like this. Then, raise your arm. Now, rotate\u2026\u201d \u2014 this sequential approach precisely corresponds to the motor planning needs of dyspraxic individuals, who struggle to anticipate and chain a complex sequence of movements.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>These strategies are not exclusive \u2014 they combine and reinforce each other. A coach who clearly breaks down the gesture (verbally and through demonstration), encourages visualization before execution, and then guides progressive repetition with appropriate material, creates optimal motor learning conditions for a dyspraxic individual. Patience is the ingredient that holds everything together \u2014 without it, the best technical strategies fail.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"encadrement\">4. The Importance of Supervision and Support<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Supervision and support are essential to help individuals with dyspraxia engage in physical activity safely and appropriately. Coaches and sports educators play a key role in encouragement and support. They must be aware of the specific needs of these individuals and be able to offer adaptations and exercises suited to their abilities.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Qualities of an Adapted Framework for Dyspraxia<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Patience and Kindness:<\/strong> never show impatience in the face of difficulties \u2014 the dyspraxic person makes significant efforts for actions that seem simple to others.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Clear Communication:<\/strong> short and precise verbal instructions, one step at a time, with systematic positive feedback on progress.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Adaptability:<\/strong> know how to modify an exercise in real-time if the person is struggling \u2014 without it being perceived as a “demotion”.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Collaboration:<\/strong> work in connection with parents and health professionals (occupational therapist, psychomotor therapist) to ensure consistency in approaches.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Encouragement of Autonomy:<\/strong> gradually reduce assistance so that the person develops confidence in their own abilities.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>Communication with parents and health professionals is also important to ensure adequate support. Parents can provide valuable information about their child’s specific needs \u2014 their strengths, vulnerabilities, strategies that work at home, sources of anxiety to anticipate. This tripartite collaboration between coach, family, and health professionals is the condition for truly effective support.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"collectif\">5. The Benefits of Team Sports<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Team sports can offer numerous benefits to people with dyspraxia. First of all, they promote the development of socialization by allowing interaction with other players, which can help improve social skills and strengthen the sense of belonging to a group.<\/pee><pee>Moreover, team sports stimulate cooperation and team spirit. By working together to achieve a common goal, dyspraxic individuals learn to collaborate, share, and respect other players. This can have a positive impact on their personal development and their ability to work in a team in other areas of their lives.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Adapt collective sports to dyspraxia<\/div>\n<p> <pee>For participation in a collective sport to be positive, it is necessary to choose a sport with sufficiently simple rules, a caring supervision that understands dyspraxia, a team where competition is not the main goal, and the possibility to play different roles according to abilities (a dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or a good strategist even if they are less comfortable with quick movements).<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>However, for collective sports to be a positive experience for a dyspraxic person, certain conditions are necessary. The team must be caring and inclusive, the coach trained in the specifics of dyspraxia, the rules clearly explained, and the roles assigned taking into account everyone’s strengths. A dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or an excellent strategist even if they are less comfortable with running and quick direction changes \u2014 recognizing and valuing these strengths completely changes the experience of collective sports.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"individuel\">6. Adapted Individual Sports<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Individual sports can also be adapted for people with dyspraxia. Racket sports, such as table tennis or squash, can be a good option as they allow for working on coordination and fine motor skills. The ball is small and the exchanges are short \u2014 ideal for developing reactivity and hand-eye coordination.<\/pee><pee>Dance is another individual sport that can be adapted for people with dyspraxia. It allows for working on coordination, flexibility, and body expression in an artistic setting. For those who are apprehensive about the gaze of others, small group classes or private lessons may be preferable at first. Dance can be a liberating activity for dyspraxic individuals \u2014 a space where “good execution” is defined by expression rather than technical precision.<\/pee><pee>Dance deserves special mention. For many dyspraxic individuals, dance is revealing \u2014 by working on coordination in an artistic and expressive setting, it bypasses the blocks related to performance and competition to reach something more fundamental: the joy of movement. Studies have shown that dance-based interventions produce significant improvements in coordination and self-esteem in individuals with DCD. African dance, hip-hop, rock’n’roll, or contemporary dance \u2014 with their emphasis on energy and expressiveness rather than technical perfection \u2014 are particularly accessible.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aquatiques\">7. Aquatic Sports \u2014 Benefits and Recommendations<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Aquatic sports offer many benefits for people with dyspraxia. First of all, water provides natural resistance that can help improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in water are smoother and less constraining, which can facilitate their execution for dyspraxic individuals.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming \u2014 recommended basic sport<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Swimming is a complete sport that engages all the muscles in the body and improves overall coordination. The resistance of the water slows down movements and gives more time to adjust them \u2014 a valuable advantage for dyspraxic individuals. The sensation of buoyancy also reduces the impact of clumsiness, creating a safe environment to experiment and learn.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcaa Aquagym<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Aquagym is a gentler activity that allows for muscle strengthening and flexibility work. In a small group, with a suitable instructor, it is an accessible option for dyspraxics of all levels. The music and collective rhythm help to pace the movements \u2014 a useful support for individuals who struggle to initiate motor sequences spontaneously.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd3f Scuba diving<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Scuba diving may seem counterintuitive for dyspraxic individuals, but it can be particularly beneficial. The combination of water, buoyancy, and the slowness of underwater movements can allow for a focus on movements and the development of self-confidence. Diving requires training with a qualified instructor and appropriate progression.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>Scuba diving, in particular, deserves mention. In the underwater environment, usual landmarks change \u2014 what is down is no longer necessarily “down,” movements are slowed by the water, and buoyancy alters body perception. For some dyspraxic individuals, this beneficial disorientation can paradoxically facilitate motor learning by “resetting” habitual movement patterns and allowing new ones to be built from a state of neutral buoyancy. Diving also develops a very intense awareness of the body and the environment \u2014 exactly the quality of attention to proprioceptive sensations that dyspraxic individuals often struggle to develop.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"technologies\">8. New Technologies in Sports Support<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Technological advancements offer new opportunities to promote physical activity among individuals with dyspraxia. With innovative and playful digital tools, it is possible to make sports sessions more accessible, more motivating, and better suited.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box-label\">\ud83c\udfae DYNSEO App<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box-title\">COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES \u2014 DYS adapted sports and cognition<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES from DYNSEO offer playful and progressive programs that combine cognitive games and integrated sports breaks. Every 15 minutes of cognitive activity, COCO proposes a sports break adapted to the child’s motor abilities \u2014 including exercises accessible to dyspraxic children, with clear and visual instructions.<\/pee> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-inner\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-inner-title\">\u2726 Complementary technologies<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Movement video games (exergaming) \u2014 Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure \u2014 to work on coordination in a playful setting \u00b7 Smartwatches to encourage daily activity \u00b7 Sports coaching apps with explanatory videos \u00b7 Virtual reality for safe environments.<\/pee> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Benefits of using technology<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Better motivation:<\/strong> the playful format increases engagement and reduces resistance to physical activity.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Individualized tracking:<\/strong> adaptable difficulty levels, measurable and visible progress.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Immediate feedback:<\/strong> feedback on movements to facilitate learning and self-correction.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> sessions can be done at home or in a specialized center, without expensive equipment.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Reduction of social anxiety:<\/strong> practicing alone or in a virtual environment reduces the fear of others’ gaze.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>New technologies also transform access to sports for dyspraxic individuals by reducing social and spatial barriers. Where a dyspraxic person might hesitate to join a sports club for fear of others’ gaze or not being able to follow group instructions, digital applications and games allow them to train alone, at their own pace, in a safe environment, before possibly joining a group. This progression from virtual to real can be a valuable transition for those most inhibited by their disorder.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"regularite\">9. The Importance of Regularity and Routine<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Regularity in physical activity plays a crucial role in the development of motor skills and self-confidence in individuals with dyspraxia. Establishing a stable sports routine not only helps to better anchor learning but also creates a safe framework, essential for overall well-being.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcc5 Set specific days and times<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Plan sports sessions on fixed days and times, integrating them into a visual schedule. Predictability is particularly important for dyspraxic individuals, who benefit from a stable and predictable environment to reduce their anxiety.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcca Use a progress chart<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>A notebook of activities or a progress chart to note the exercises completed, feelings, and improvements. Seeing documented progress is a powerful motivator, especially for individuals whose difficulties are often invisible to others but very present to themselves.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udf1f Celebrate every small success<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Celebrate every small success, no matter how minor, to reinforce motivation. For a dyspraxic person, successfully catching a ball 3 times in a row can represent a considerable effort \u2014 this effort deserves to be recognized and celebrated, even if the performance seems modest in comparison.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\u23f1\ufe0f Favor short but regular sessions<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Sessions of 20 to 30 minutes conducted regularly (2 to 3 times a week) are much more effective than long spaced-out sessions. Motor and cognitive fatigue accumulates quickly in dyspraxic individuals \u2014 stopping before exhaustion is essential to maintain a positive experience.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>The sports routine plays a particularly important role for dyspraxic children, who benefit from predictable and repetitive structures. When a sports session always follows the same sequence \u2014 warm-up, main exercise, cool down \u2014 the child can anticipate each step and focus their attention on execution rather than on understanding what will happen next. This predictability reduces anxiety and frees cognitive resources for motor learning. For dyspraxic adults, the sports routine is also a protection against procrastination \u2014 knowing exactly what to do and when eliminates decision-making moments that are often obstacles to taking action.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jeux-coordination\">10. Coordination Games and Fine Motor Activities<\/h2>\n<p><pee>In addition to sports per se, play activities can be gradually integrated into the daily lives of dyspraxic children to work on coordination in a playful and non-competitive setting.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Adapted coordination games<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udea2 Jump rope<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Jump rope is a simple game that helps develop coordination between the arms and legs. For dyspraxic children, starting with a rope held on the ground, then gradually raised, allows them to acquire the necessary timing without frustration. The goal is first to jump at the right moment, not to perform consecutive jumps.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Hopscotch<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Hopscotch combines jumps and precise movements, promoting coordination and balance. For dyspraxic children, it can be adapted by drawing larger squares, reducing the number of steps, or allowing them to hold onto a wall or an adult’s hand at the beginning. Hopscotch also works on movement planning \u2014 which square next, with which foot \u2014 making it an excellent exercise for motor executive functions.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Fine motor activities<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Fine motor skills \u2014 the precision of hand and finger movements \u2014 are often particularly affected in dyspraxia. Daily activities can gradually strengthen them, outside of any sports context.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\u2702\ufe0f Cutting and coloring<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Cutting requires good coordination between the hand and the eyes. Start by cutting simple shapes along thick lines, then progress to more complex shapes. Coloring also engages hand-eye coordination while allowing for the development of gesture precision in a creative and low-anxiety environment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udde9 Object manipulation<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Stacking cubes, playing with modeling clay, assembling puzzles, screwing and unscrewing lids \u2014 all these daily activities strengthen hand muscles and improve fine coordination. The advantage is that they can be naturally integrated into daily life, without requiring a formal “session” that could be perceived as burdensome.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>Coordination and fine motor games should not be presented as “therapeutic exercises” \u2014 they should be experienced as games. A dyspraxic child having fun playing hopscotch while laughing with friends works on their coordination much more effectively than a child doing repetitive exercises in a clinical setting. Enjoyment is the best vehicle for motor learning \u2014 it reduces anxiety, increases motivation to repeat, and creates positive memories associated with movement that encourage future practice.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"psychomotricite\">11. Role of the Psychomotor Therapist and Therapists<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Psychomotor rehabilitation is the cornerstone of supporting dyspraxia. The psychomotor therapist assesses motor skills, establishes a personalized rehabilitation program, and works on the foundations of motor skills \u2014 balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization, movement planning. This specialized rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on neuromotor foundations, the other applies them in concrete playful and social contexts.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Professionals to Consult for Dyspraxia and Sports<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Psychomotor Therapist:<\/strong> global and fine motor rehabilitation, work on body schema, motor planning, balance. Reference professional for dyspraxia.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Occupational Therapist:<\/strong> adaptation of tools and environment (posture, adapted materials), fine motor rehabilitation, advice for daily and school life.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Physiotherapist:<\/strong> muscle strengthening, work on posture and endurance. Complementary to the psychomotor therapist for the physical aspects of dyspraxia.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Specialized Sports Educator (APA):<\/strong> teacher of Adapted Physical Activity, specialized in sports practice for people with special needs.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Neuropsychologist:<\/strong> complete cognitive assessment to identify associated deficient functions and guide interventions.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>The coordination between these different professionals is essential. A dyspraxic child followed simultaneously by a psychomotor therapist, an occupational therapist, and a specialized educator benefits more from each intervention than if these supports are compartmentalized. Parents play a key role in this coordination \u2014 by transmitting information between professionals, aligning strategies at home, and maintaining a global view of their child’s progress.<\/pee><pee>The coordination between the psychomotor therapist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and specialized educator is ideal but not always accessible \u2014 appointment delays can be long and resources unevenly distributed geographically. In this context, digital applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES offer an accessible complementary solution \u2014 a structured, progressive, and playful training that the child can do at their own pace at home, between sessions with professionals. These tools do not replace professional rehabilitation \u2014 they complement and extend it in daily life.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"vie-quotidienne\">12. Dyspraxia, Sports, and Daily Life<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia does not stop at sports sessions \u2014 it manifests in many daily activities that require coordination and motor planning. Dressing, cutting meat, tying shoes, holding a pen, opening a jar \u2014 all these actions that seem automatic for most people require conscious and often frustrating effort for dyspraxic individuals.<\/pee><pee>Regular sports practice helps improve these everyday gestures. By developing coordination, balance, and motor planning in a sports context, these improvements gradually generalize to daily life activities. A child who learns to better coordinate their movements in swimming may also progress in how they hold their pencil. A teenager who develops their balance on a bike may have fewer difficulties navigating through crowded spaces.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Integrate movement into daily life<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Take advantage of everyday opportunities to work on coordination without performance pressure \u2014 setting the table (fine motor skills), going up and down stairs by placing one foot on each step (coordination and balance), putting away groceries (spatial organization), doing simple cooking (bimanual coordination). These “incidental” activities complement formal sports sessions and anchor progress in the context of real life.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia affects about 5 to 7% of the population \u2014 it is one of the most common developmental disorders. Yet, it often remains unknown and underdiagnosed, particularly in girls and adults. Many dyspraxic individuals go through childhood and adolescence without a diagnosis, attributing their motor difficulties to “clumsiness,” a “lack of natural coordination,” or simply a lack of effort. This diagnostic delay has significant consequences \u2014 years of accumulated frustration, low self-esteem, and avoidance of physical activities that could have provided help and enjoyment.<\/pee><pee>If you recognize persistent coordination difficulties in yourself or a loved one \u2014 difficulties learning new movements, repeated clumsiness in daily activities, anxiety regarding sports activities, difficult writing \u2014 consulting a psychomotor therapist for an assessment is a step that can profoundly change the trajectory. The diagnosis of dyspraxia is not a verdict \u2014 it is a tool that opens access to tailored support and replaces shame with understanding.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-list\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>Does dyspraxia improve with sports practice?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>Yes \u2014 regular and appropriate sports practice is one of the most effective interventions to improve motor skills in dyspraxia. The plastic brain develops new motor circuits through the repetition of targeted exercises. Progress can be significant, especially in children whose brains are developing. However, dyspraxia generally does not “disappear” completely \u2014 the goal is to develop effective compensation strategies and improve quality of life, not to fully normalize the motor profile.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>What is the role of the psychomotor therapist in the sports support of dyspraxia?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>The psychomotor therapist is the reference professional for the rehabilitation of dyspraxia. They assess motor skills, establish a personalized rehabilitation program, and work on the foundations of motor skills (balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization). They can advise parents and sports coaches on the adaptations to be made. Psychomotor rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on the basics, the other applies them in a playful and social context.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>COCO MOVES is it suitable for dyspraxic children?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>COCO MOVES was designed with DYS and dyspraxic profiles in mind. Physical exercises are offered with clear instructions, an adaptable pace, and progressive levels. The interface is streamlined to reduce cognitive overload. The sports breaks every 15 minutes of screen time precisely meet the regular movement needs of dyspraxic children, while preventing fatigue related to prolonged screen time. COCO can be used independently by the child or guided by an adult.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>In conclusion, dyspraxia can present challenges in sports practice \u2014 but this absolutely does not mean that individuals with this disorder cannot enjoy the benefits of physical activity. By choosing sports suited to their abilities, benefiting from informed and caring guidance, using specific strategies of breakdown and repetition, and building a regular and secure routine \u2014 dyspraxic individuals can not only engage in sports but also gain considerable benefits for their coordination, self-confidence, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.<\/pee><pee>The journey may be longer and more demanding than for a person without coordination disorders \u2014 but every progress, no matter how small, represents a remarkable effort and deserves to be celebrated. Dyspraxic individuals who persevere in their sports practice develop not only motor skills but also resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles that serve them in all areas of their lives. Adapted sports, with the right tools and the right support, is one of the greatest opportunities that can be offered to a dyspraxic person.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udfc3 Support your dyspraxic children with COCO MOVES<\/h3>\n<p> <pee>Adapted DYS physical exercises \u00b7 Clear instructions \u00b7 Integrated sports break \u00b7 Progressive levels \u00b7 7 days free trial.<\/pee> <\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-buttons\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/brain-games-apps\/coco-educational-games\/\" class=\"btn-white\">\ud83c\udfae Discover COCO \u2192<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/accompagner-les-enfants-dys-2\/\" class=\"btn-outline\">DYS Guide \u2192<\/a> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia does not define a person \u2014 it characterizes a different way of processing and executing movements.

class=\"container\"><div class=\"intro-block\">Dyspraxia is a developmental disorder that affects motor coordination in children and adults. People with dyspraxia have difficulties planning and executing voluntary movements, which can make sports practice more complex. Symptoms typically include poor coordination, balance difficulties, weak fine motor skills, and altered spatial perception. But this does not mean that sports are inaccessible \u2014 on the contrary, with proper support, physical activity is one of the best interventions available for dyspraxia.<\/div><div class=\"stats-grid\"> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">5-7%<\/div><div class=\"label\">Of children have motor coordination disorders (DCD)<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">Motor Skills<\/div><div class=\"label\">Gross and fine \u2014 both are improved by adapted physical activity<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">Routine<\/div><div class=\"label\">Regularity is key \u2014 2 sessions per week produce measurable results<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">COCO<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">DYS and dyspraxia adapted application \u2014 integrated sports break<\/div><\/div><\/div><p>However, despite these real obstacles, sports practice is not only possible for dyspraxic people \u2014 it is highly recommended. The benefits far outweigh the initial difficulties, provided that the right activities are chosen, the supervision is adapted, and a progressive and caring approach is adopted. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of recommended sports, effective strategies, and tools to make sports a positive and transformative experience for people with dyspraxia.<\/p><h2 id=\"bienfaits\">1. The Benefits of Physical Activity for Dyspraxic People<\/h2><h3>Improvement of coordination and motor skills<\/h3><p>People with dyspraxia can benefit from regular physical activity. By performing specific exercises, they can gradually develop their motor skills and improve their coordination. For example, ball games can help improve hand-eye coordination and the precision of movements. The brain is plastic \u2014 with regular and well-adapted practice, it creates new motor connections that gradually compensate for the movement planning difficulties characteristic of dyspraxia.<\/p><h3>Boosting self-confidence and self-esteem<\/h3><p>Physical activity can also have a positive impact on the self-confidence and self-esteem of people with dyspraxia. By succeeding in performing movements or actions they thought impossible, they gain confidence and feel proud of their achievements. Learning to ride a bike can be a challenge for a dyspraxic person, but by achieving it, they strengthen their confidence in their abilities. These motor successes have effects that generalize \u2014 the child who succeeds in riding a bike develops a perception of themselves as \"capable of learning new things\" that benefits all other areas of their life.<\/p><h3>Reduction of stress and anxiety<\/h3><p>Engaging in physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety in people with dyspraxia. By focusing on their movements during exercise, they can relax and decrease their stress levels. Additionally, physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins \u2014 hormones of well-being \u2014 which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. For dyspraxic children, often anxious about not succeeding in motor activities, a safe and caring sports practice can be particularly transformative.<\/p><p>The benefits of physical activity for dyspraxia are documented by research in neuroscience and developmental psychology. A 2019 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics showed that structured motor interventions produce significant improvements in motor skills in children with DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder \u2014 the clinical term for dyspraxia), with effects that persist over time. These results support the importance of regular and adapted practice rather than avoiding physical activities for fear of difficulties.<\/p><h2 id=\"sports-recommandes\">2. Recommended Sports for Dyspraxic People<\/h2><h3>Simple individual sports<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming<\/h4> <p>Swimming is an excellent sport for people with dyspraxia. It allows them to focus on their own movements in the water, without having to interact with other players. The water provides natural resistance that helps improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in the water are smoother and less restrictive, making them easier to execute. Additionally, the repetitive nature of swimming movements promotes their gradual integration into the motor repertoire.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udeb4 Cycling<\/h4> <p>Cycling not only offers physical benefits but also allows people with dyspraxia to develop their motor skills by pedaling and focusing on the route. It is recommended to start with stabilizer wheels to help develop balance gradually. Outdoor cycling also develops eye-environment coordination and spatial anticipation.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Running<\/h4> <p>While running, people with dyspraxia can work on their coordination and balance while progressing at their own pace. Running is accessible, does not require complex equipment, and progress is easily measurable (distance, time). For beginners, it is recommended to start with brisk walking and then gradually incorporate running.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd38 Gymnastics and Circus Arts<\/h4> <p>Gymnastics helps strengthen flexibility and coordination of movements. Exercises are done at one's own pace, which is ideal for people with dyspraxia. Circus arts \u2014 juggling, simple acrobatics, balance \u2014 are also particularly recommended as they break down movements into clear and progressive sequences.<\/p><\/div><h3>Team Sports with Simple Rules<\/h3><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd3e Simplified Handball<\/h4> <p>Handball primarily requires skill and coordination to catch and throw the ball. With simplified rules and appropriate guidance, it can be practiced by people with dyspraxia. Emphasizing cooperation rather than competition helps reduce pressure.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfd0 Adapted Volleyball<\/h4> <p>People with dyspraxia can focus on the basic gestures of volleyball \u2014 serving or returning the ball \u2014 without worrying about all the complex rules. Playing with a suitably sized ball and in a supportive team creates an inclusive and stimulating environment.<\/p><\/div><p>The key in choosing a sport for a person with dyspraxia is to prioritize activities that allow them to progress at their own pace, without initially relying on coordination with other players, with simple and predictable rules, and in a supportive environment where mistakes are accepted. Once the motor skills are developed in this secure setting, gradually expanding to more complex or team sports becomes possible and enriching.<\/p><h2 id=\"strategies\">3. Strategies to Facilitate Sports Practice<\/h2><figure style=\"margin:20px 0;text-align:center\"> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abcdhe-143.jpg\" alt=\"Dyspraxia sports strategies motor coordination\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:70%;border-radius:16px;box-shadow:0 8px 30px rgba(0,0,0,.1);margin:0 auto;\"><\/figure><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udd04 Repetition of Movements<\/h4> <p>The repetition of movements is essential to help people with dyspraxia acquire new motor skills. By regularly repeating specific movements, they can gradually improve their coordination and self-confidence. Repetition should be carefully dosed \u2014 enough times to anchor the gesture, but not to the point of discouraging or exhausting.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Visualization of movements<\/h4> <p>Visualization can also be helpful. By mentally imagining the movements before executing them, dyspraxic individuals can better understand the necessary steps and anticipate the actions to be performed. This can help improve coordination and reduce anxiety related to sports practice. Clear verbal instructions, breaking down each gesture into simple steps, effectively complement visualization.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfbe Use of appropriate tools<\/h4> <p>The use of appropriate tools can facilitate sports practice. For example, a lighter racket or a larger ball can make tennis more accessible. A bike with stabilizers or a swimming board can help improve balance and coordination. These equipment adaptations reduce the cognitive load related to mastering the material, allowing focus on the gesture itself.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcdd Decomposition of gestures<\/h4> <p>For dyspraxic individuals, complex movements must be broken down into simple sequences and learned step by step. \u201cFirst, place your feet like this. Then, raise your arm. Now, rotate\u2026\u201d \u2014 this sequential approach precisely corresponds to the motor planning needs of dyspraxic individuals, who struggle to anticipate and chain a complex sequence of movements.<\/p><\/div><p>These strategies are not exclusive \u2014 they combine and reinforce each other. A coach who clearly breaks down the gesture (verbally and through demonstration), encourages visualization before execution, and then guides progressive repetition with appropriate material, creates optimal motor learning conditions for a dyspraxic individual. Patience is the ingredient that holds everything together \u2014 without it, the best technical strategies fail.<\/p><h2 id=\"encadrement\">4. The Importance of Supervision and Support<\/h2><p>Supervision and support are essential to help individuals with dyspraxia engage in physical activity safely and appropriately. Coaches and sports educators play a key role in encouragement and support. They must be aware of the specific needs of these individuals and be able to offer adaptations and exercises suited to their abilities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Qualities of an Adapted Framework for Dyspraxia<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Patience and Kindness:<\/strong> never show impatience in the face of difficulties \u2014 the dyspraxic person makes significant efforts for actions that seem simple to others.<\/li> <li><strong>Clear Communication:<\/strong> short and precise verbal instructions, one step at a time, with systematic positive feedback on progress.<\/li> <li><strong>Adaptability:<\/strong> know how to modify an exercise in real-time if the person is struggling \u2014 without it being perceived as a \"demotion\".<\/li> <li><strong>Collaboration:<\/strong> work in connection with parents and health professionals (occupational therapist, psychomotor therapist) to ensure consistency in approaches.<\/li> <li><strong>Encouragement of Autonomy:<\/strong> gradually reduce assistance so that the person develops confidence in their own abilities.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>Communication with parents and health professionals is also important to ensure adequate support. Parents can provide valuable information about their child's specific needs \u2014 their strengths, vulnerabilities, strategies that work at home, sources of anxiety to anticipate. This tripartite collaboration between coach, family, and health professionals is the condition for truly effective support.<\/p><h2 id=\"collectif\">5. The Benefits of Team Sports<\/h2><p>Team sports can offer numerous benefits to people with dyspraxia. First of all, they promote the development of socialization by allowing interaction with other players, which can help improve social skills and strengthen the sense of belonging to a group.<\/p><p>Moreover, team sports stimulate cooperation and team spirit. By working together to achieve a common goal, dyspraxic individuals learn to collaborate, share, and respect other players. This can have a positive impact on their personal development and their ability to work in a team in other areas of their lives.<\/p><div class=\"tip-box\">\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Adapt collective sports to dyspraxia<\/div> <p>For participation in a collective sport to be positive, it is necessary to choose a sport with sufficiently simple rules, a caring supervision that understands dyspraxia, a team where competition is not the main goal, and the possibility to play different roles according to abilities (a dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or a good strategist even if they are less comfortable with quick movements).<\/p><\/div><p>However, for collective sports to be a positive experience for a dyspraxic person, certain conditions are necessary. The team must be caring and inclusive, the coach trained in the specifics of dyspraxia, the rules clearly explained, and the roles assigned taking into account everyone's strengths. A dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or an excellent strategist even if they are less comfortable with running and quick direction changes \u2014 recognizing and valuing these strengths completely changes the experience of collective sports.<\/p><h2 id=\"individuel\">6. Adapted Individual Sports<\/h2><p>Individual sports can also be adapted for people with dyspraxia. Racket sports, such as table tennis or squash, can be a good option as they allow for working on coordination and fine motor skills. The ball is small and the exchanges are short \u2014 ideal for developing reactivity and hand-eye coordination.<\/p><p>Dance is another individual sport that can be adapted for people with dyspraxia. It allows for working on coordination, flexibility, and body expression in an artistic setting. For those who are apprehensive about the gaze of others, small group classes or private lessons may be preferable at first. Dance can be a liberating activity for dyspraxic individuals \u2014 a space where \"good execution\" is defined by expression rather than technical precision.<\/p><p>Dance deserves special mention. For many dyspraxic individuals, dance is revealing \u2014 by working on coordination in an artistic and expressive setting, it bypasses the blocks related to performance and competition to reach something more fundamental: the joy of movement. Studies have shown that dance-based interventions produce significant improvements in coordination and self-esteem in individuals with DCD. African dance, hip-hop, rock'n'roll, or contemporary dance \u2014 with their emphasis on energy and expressiveness rather than technical perfection \u2014 are particularly accessible.<\/p><h2 id=\"aquatiques\">7. Aquatic Sports \u2014 Benefits and Recommendations<\/h2><p>Aquatic sports offer many benefits for people with dyspraxia. First of all, water provides natural resistance that can help improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in water are smoother and less constraining, which can facilitate their execution for dyspraxic individuals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming \u2014 recommended basic sport<\/h4> <p>Swimming is a complete sport that engages all the muscles in the body and improves overall coordination. The resistance of the water slows down movements and gives more time to adjust them \u2014 a valuable advantage for dyspraxic individuals. The sensation of buoyancy also reduces the impact of clumsiness, creating a safe environment to experiment and learn.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcaa Aquagym<\/h4> <p>Aquagym is a gentler activity that allows for muscle strengthening and flexibility work. In a small group, with a suitable instructor, it is an accessible option for dyspraxics of all levels. The music and collective rhythm help to pace the movements \u2014 a useful support for individuals who struggle to initiate motor sequences spontaneously.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd3f Scuba diving<\/h4> <p>Scuba diving may seem counterintuitive for dyspraxic individuals, but it can be particularly beneficial. The combination of water, buoyancy, and the slowness of underwater movements can allow for a focus on movements and the development of self-confidence. Diving requires training with a qualified instructor and appropriate progression.<\/p><\/div><p>Scuba diving, in particular, deserves mention. In the underwater environment, usual landmarks change \u2014 what is down is no longer necessarily \"down,\" movements are slowed by the water, and buoyancy alters body perception. For some dyspraxic individuals, this beneficial disorientation can paradoxically facilitate motor learning by \"resetting\" habitual movement patterns and allowing new ones to be built from a state of neutral buoyancy. Diving also develops a very intense awareness of the body and the environment \u2014 exactly the quality of attention to proprioceptive sensations that dyspraxic individuals often struggle to develop.<\/p><h2 id=\"technologies\">8. New Technologies in Sports Support<\/h2><p>Technological advancements offer new opportunities to promote physical activity among individuals with dyspraxia. With innovative and playful digital tools, it is possible to make sports sessions more accessible, more motivating, and better suited.<\/p><div class=\"expert-box\"> <div class=\"expert-box-label\">\ud83c\udfae DYNSEO App<\/div> <div class=\"expert-box-title\">COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES \u2014 DYS adapted sports and cognition<\/div> <p>Applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES from DYNSEO offer playful and progressive programs that combine cognitive games and integrated sports breaks. Every 15 minutes of cognitive activity, COCO proposes a sports break adapted to the child's motor abilities \u2014 including exercises accessible to dyspraxic children, with clear and visual instructions.<\/p> <div class=\"expert-inner\"> <div class=\"expert-inner-title\">\u2726 Complementary technologies<\/div> <p>Movement video games (exergaming) \u2014 Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure \u2014 to work on coordination in a playful setting \u00b7 Smartwatches to encourage daily activity \u00b7 Sports coaching apps with explanatory videos \u00b7 Virtual reality for safe environments.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Benefits of using technology<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Better motivation:<\/strong> the playful format increases engagement and reduces resistance to physical activity.<\/li> <li><strong>Individualized tracking:<\/strong> adaptable difficulty levels, measurable and visible progress.<\/li> <li><strong>Immediate feedback:<\/strong> feedback on movements to facilitate learning and self-correction.<\/li> <li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> sessions can be done at home or in a specialized center, without expensive equipment.<\/li> <li><strong>Reduction of social anxiety:<\/strong> practicing alone or in a virtual environment reduces the fear of others' gaze.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>New technologies also transform access to sports for dyspraxic individuals by reducing social and spatial barriers. Where a dyspraxic person might hesitate to join a sports club for fear of others' gaze or not being able to follow group instructions, digital applications and games allow them to train alone, at their own pace, in a safe environment, before possibly joining a group. This progression from virtual to real can be a valuable transition for those most inhibited by their disorder.<\/p><h2 id=\"regularite\">9. The Importance of Regularity and Routine<\/h2><p>Regularity in physical activity plays a crucial role in the development of motor skills and self-confidence in individuals with dyspraxia. Establishing a stable sports routine not only helps to better anchor learning but also creates a safe framework, essential for overall well-being.<\/p><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcc5 Set specific days and times<\/h4> <p>Plan sports sessions on fixed days and times, integrating them into a visual schedule. Predictability is particularly important for dyspraxic individuals, who benefit from a stable and predictable environment to reduce their anxiety.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcca Use a progress chart<\/h4> <p>A notebook of activities or a progress chart to note the exercises completed, feelings, and improvements. Seeing documented progress is a powerful motivator, especially for individuals whose difficulties are often invisible to others but very present to themselves.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udf1f Celebrate every small success<\/h4> <p>Celebrate every small success, no matter how minor, to reinforce motivation. For a dyspraxic person, successfully catching a ball 3 times in a row can represent a considerable effort \u2014 this effort deserves to be recognized and celebrated, even if the performance seems modest in comparison.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\u23f1\ufe0f Favor short but regular sessions<\/h4> <p>Sessions of 20 to 30 minutes conducted regularly (2 to 3 times a week) are much more effective than long spaced-out sessions. Motor and cognitive fatigue accumulates quickly in dyspraxic individuals \u2014 stopping before exhaustion is essential to maintain a positive experience.<\/p><\/div><p>The sports routine plays a particularly important role for dyspraxic children, who benefit from predictable and repetitive structures. When a sports session always follows the same sequence \u2014 warm-up, main exercise, cool down \u2014 the child can anticipate each step and focus their attention on execution rather than on understanding what will happen next. This predictability reduces anxiety and frees cognitive resources for motor learning. For dyspraxic adults, the sports routine is also a protection against procrastination \u2014 knowing exactly what to do and when eliminates decision-making moments that are often obstacles to taking action.<\/p><h2 id=\"jeux-coordination\">10. Coordination Games and Fine Motor Activities<\/h2><p>In addition to sports per se, play activities can be gradually integrated into the daily lives of dyspraxic children to work on coordination in a playful and non-competitive setting.<\/p><h3>Adapted coordination games<\/h3><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udea2 Jump rope<\/h4> <p>Jump rope is a simple game that helps develop coordination between the arms and legs. For dyspraxic children, starting with a rope held on the ground, then gradually raised, allows them to acquire the necessary timing without frustration. The goal is first to jump at the right moment, not to perform consecutive jumps.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Hopscotch<\/h4> <p>Hopscotch combines jumps and precise movements, promoting coordination and balance. For dyspraxic children, it can be adapted by drawing larger squares, reducing the number of steps, or allowing them to hold onto a wall or an adult's hand at the beginning. Hopscotch also works on movement planning \u2014 which square next, with which foot \u2014 making it an excellent exercise for motor executive functions.<\/p><\/div><h3>Fine motor activities<\/h3><p>Fine motor skills \u2014 the precision of hand and finger movements \u2014 are often particularly affected in dyspraxia. Daily activities can gradually strengthen them, outside of any sports context.<\/p><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\u2702\ufe0f Cutting and coloring<\/h4> <p>Cutting requires good coordination between the hand and the eyes. Start by cutting simple shapes along thick lines, then progress to more complex shapes. Coloring also engages hand-eye coordination while allowing for the development of gesture precision in a creative and low-anxiety environment.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udde9 Object manipulation<\/h4> <p>Stacking cubes, playing with modeling clay, assembling puzzles, screwing and unscrewing lids \u2014 all these daily activities strengthen hand muscles and improve fine coordination. The advantage is that they can be naturally integrated into daily life, without requiring a formal \"session\" that could be perceived as burdensome.<\/p><\/div><p>Coordination and fine motor games should not be presented as \"therapeutic exercises\" \u2014 they should be experienced as games. A dyspraxic child having fun playing hopscotch while laughing with friends works on their coordination much more effectively than a child doing repetitive exercises in a clinical setting. Enjoyment is the best vehicle for motor learning \u2014 it reduces anxiety, increases motivation to repeat, and creates positive memories associated with movement that encourage future practice.<\/p><h2 id=\"psychomotricite\">11. Role of the Psychomotor Therapist and Therapists<\/h2><p>Psychomotor rehabilitation is the cornerstone of supporting dyspraxia. The psychomotor therapist assesses motor skills, establishes a personalized rehabilitation program, and works on the foundations of motor skills \u2014 balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization, movement planning. This specialized rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on neuromotor foundations, the other applies them in concrete playful and social contexts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Professionals to Consult for Dyspraxia and Sports<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Psychomotor Therapist:<\/strong> global and fine motor rehabilitation, work on body schema, motor planning, balance. Reference professional for dyspraxia.<\/li> <li><strong>Occupational Therapist:<\/strong> adaptation of tools and environment (posture, adapted materials), fine motor rehabilitation, advice for daily and school life.<\/li> <li><strong>Physiotherapist:<\/strong> muscle strengthening, work on posture and endurance. Complementary to the psychomotor therapist for the physical aspects of dyspraxia.<\/li> <li><strong>Specialized Sports Educator (APA):<\/strong> teacher of Adapted Physical Activity, specialized in sports practice for people with special needs.<\/li> <li><strong>Neuropsychologist:<\/strong> complete cognitive assessment to identify associated deficient functions and guide interventions.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>The coordination between these different professionals is essential. A dyspraxic child followed simultaneously by a psychomotor therapist, an occupational therapist, and a specialized educator benefits more from each intervention than if these supports are compartmentalized. Parents play a key role in this coordination \u2014 by transmitting information between professionals, aligning strategies at home, and maintaining a global view of their child's progress.<\/p><p>The coordination between the psychomotor therapist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and specialized educator is ideal but not always accessible \u2014 appointment delays can be long and resources unevenly distributed geographically. In this context, digital applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES offer an accessible complementary solution \u2014 a structured, progressive, and playful training that the child can do at their own pace at home, between sessions with professionals. These tools do not replace professional rehabilitation \u2014 they complement and extend it in daily life.<\/p><h2 id=\"vie-quotidienne\">12. Dyspraxia, Sports, and Daily Life<\/h2><p>Dyspraxia does not stop at sports sessions \u2014 it manifests in many daily activities that require coordination and motor planning. Dressing, cutting meat, tying shoes, holding a pen, opening a jar \u2014 all these actions that seem automatic for most people require conscious and often frustrating effort for dyspraxic individuals.<\/p><p>Regular sports practice helps improve these everyday gestures. By developing coordination, balance, and motor planning in a sports context, these improvements gradually generalize to daily life activities. A child who learns to better coordinate their movements in swimming may also progress in how they hold their pencil. A teenager who develops their balance on a bike may have fewer difficulties navigating through crowded spaces.<\/p><div class=\"tip-box\">\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Integrate movement into daily life<\/div> <p>Take advantage of everyday opportunities to work on coordination without performance pressure \u2014 setting the table (fine motor skills), going up and down stairs by placing one foot on each step (coordination and balance), putting away groceries (spatial organization), doing simple cooking (bimanual coordination). These \"incidental\" activities complement formal sports sessions and anchor progress in the context of real life.<\/p><\/div><h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><p>Dyspraxia affects about 5 to 7% of the population \u2014 it is one of the most common developmental disorders. Yet, it often remains unknown and underdiagnosed, particularly in girls and adults. Many dyspraxic individuals go through childhood and adolescence without a diagnosis, attributing their motor difficulties to \"clumsiness,\" a \"lack of natural coordination,\" or simply a lack of effort. This diagnostic delay has significant consequences \u2014 years of accumulated frustration, low self-esteem, and avoidance of physical activities that could have provided help and enjoyment.<\/p><p>If you recognize persistent coordination difficulties in yourself or a loved one \u2014 difficulties learning new movements, repeated clumsiness in daily activities, anxiety regarding sports activities, difficult writing \u2014 consulting a psychomotor therapist for an assessment is a step that can profoundly change the trajectory. The diagnosis of dyspraxia is not a verdict \u2014 it is a tool that opens access to tailored support and replaces shame with understanding.<\/p><div class=\"faq-list\"> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>Does dyspraxia improve with sports practice?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div> <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes \u2014 regular and appropriate sports practice is one of the most effective interventions to improve motor skills in dyspraxia. The plastic brain develops new motor circuits through the repetition of targeted exercises. Progress can be significant, especially in children whose brains are developing. However, dyspraxia generally does not \"disappear\" completely \u2014 the goal is to develop effective compensation strategies and improve quality of life, not to fully normalize the motor profile.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>What is the role of the psychomotor therapist in the sports support of dyspraxia?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div> <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>The psychomotor therapist is the reference professional for the rehabilitation of dyspraxia. They assess motor skills, establish a personalized rehabilitation program, and work on the foundations of motor skills (balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization). They can advise parents and sports coaches on the adaptations to be made. Psychomotor rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on the basics, the other applies them in a playful and social context.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>COCO MOVES is it suitable for dyspraxic children?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><p>COCO MOVES was designed with DYS and dyspraxic profiles in mind. Physical exercises are offered with clear instructions, an adaptable pace, and progressive levels. The interface is streamlined to reduce cognitive overload. The sports breaks every 15 minutes of screen time precisely meet the regular movement needs of dyspraxic children, while preventing fatigue related to prolonged screen time. COCO can be used independently by the child or guided by an adult.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div><p>In conclusion, dyspraxia can present challenges in sports practice \u2014 but this absolutely does not mean that individuals with this disorder cannot enjoy the benefits of physical activity. By choosing sports suited to their abilities, benefiting from informed and caring guidance, using specific strategies of breakdown and repetition, and building a regular and secure routine \u2014 dyspraxic individuals can not only engage in sports but also gain considerable benefits for their coordination, self-confidence, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.<\/p><p>The journey may be longer and more demanding than for a person without coordination disorders \u2014 but every progress, no matter how small, represents a remarkable effort and deserves to be celebrated. Dyspraxic individuals who persevere in their sports practice develop not only motor skills but also resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles that serve them in all areas of their lives. Adapted sports, with the right tools and the right support, is one of the greatest opportunities that can be offered to a dyspraxic person.<\/p><div class=\"cta-box\"> <h3>\ud83c\udfc3 Support your dyspraxic children with COCO MOVES<\/h3> <p>Adapted DYS physical exercises \u00b7 Clear instructions \u00b7 Integrated sports break \u00b7 Progressive levels \u00b7 7 days free trial.<\/p> <div class=\"cta-buttons\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/brain-games-apps\/coco-educational-games\/\" class=\"btn-white\">\ud83c\udfae Discover COCO \u2192<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/accompagner-les-enfants-dys\/\" class=\"btn-outline\">DYS Guide \u2192<\/a> <\/div><\/div><p>Dyspraxia does not define a person \u2014 it characterizes a different way of processing and executing movements.

developmental disorder that affects motor coordination in children and adults. People with dyspraxia have difficulties planning and executing voluntary movements, which can make sports practice more complex. Symptoms typically include poor coordination, balance difficulties, weak fine motor skills, and altered spatial perception. But this does not mean that sports are inaccessible \u2014 on the contrary, with proper support, physical activity is one of the best interventions available for dyspraxia.<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"stats-grid\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">5-7%<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Of children have motor coordination disorders (DCD)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">Motor Skills<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Gross and fine \u2014 both are improved by adapted physical activity<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">Routine<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">Regularity is key \u2014 2 sessions per week produce measurable results<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"stat-card\">\n<div class=\"number\">COCO<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">DYS and dyspraxia adapted application \u2014 integrated sports break<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>However, despite these real obstacles, sports practice is not only possible for dyspraxic people \u2014 it is highly recommended. The benefits far outweigh the initial difficulties, provided that the right activities are chosen, the supervision is adapted, and a progressive and caring approach is adopted. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of recommended sports, effective strategies, and tools to make sports a positive and transformative experience for people with dyspraxia.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bienfaits\">1. The Benefits of Physical Activity for Dyspraxic People<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Improvement of coordination and motor skills<\/h3>\n<p><pee>People with dyspraxia can benefit from regular physical activity. By performing specific exercises, they can gradually develop their motor skills and improve their coordination. For example, ball games can help improve hand-eye coordination and the precision of movements. The brain is plastic \u2014 with regular and well-adapted practice, it creates new motor connections that gradually compensate for the movement planning difficulties characteristic of dyspraxia.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Boosting self-confidence and self-esteem<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Physical activity can also have a positive impact on the self-confidence and self-esteem of people with dyspraxia. By succeeding in performing movements or actions they thought impossible, they gain confidence and feel proud of their achievements. Learning to ride a bike can be a challenge for a dyspraxic person, but by achieving it, they strengthen their confidence in their abilities. These motor successes have effects that generalize \u2014 the child who succeeds in riding a bike develops a perception of themselves as “capable of learning new things” that benefits all other areas of their life.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Reduction of stress and anxiety<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Engaging in physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety in people with dyspraxia. By focusing on their movements during exercise, they can relax and decrease their stress levels. Additionally, physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins \u2014 hormones of well-being \u2014 which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. For dyspraxic children, often anxious about not succeeding in motor activities, a safe and caring sports practice can be particularly transformative.<\/pee><pee>The benefits of physical activity for dyspraxia are documented by research in neuroscience and developmental psychology. A 2019 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics showed that structured motor interventions produce significant improvements in motor skills in children with DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder \u2014 the clinical term for dyspraxia), with effects that persist over time. These results support the importance of regular and adapted practice rather than avoiding physical activities for fear of difficulties.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sports-recommandes\">2. Recommended Sports for Dyspraxic People<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Simple individual sports<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Swimming is an excellent sport for people with dyspraxia. It allows them to focus on their own movements in the water, without having to interact with other players. The water provides natural resistance that helps improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in the water are smoother and less restrictive, making them easier to execute. Additionally, the repetitive nature of swimming movements promotes their gradual integration into the motor repertoire.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udeb4 Cycling<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Cycling not only offers physical benefits but also allows people with dyspraxia to develop their motor skills by pedaling and focusing on the route. It is recommended to start with stabilizer wheels to help develop balance gradually. Outdoor cycling also develops eye-environment coordination and spatial anticipation.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Running<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>While running, people with dyspraxia can work on their coordination and balance while progressing at their own pace. Running is accessible, does not require complex equipment, and progress is easily measurable (distance, time). For beginners, it is recommended to start with brisk walking and then gradually incorporate running.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd38 Gymnastics and Circus Arts<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Gymnastics helps strengthen flexibility and coordination of movements. Exercises are done at one’s own pace, which is ideal for people with dyspraxia. Circus arts \u2014 juggling, simple acrobatics, balance \u2014 are also particularly recommended as they break down movements into clear and progressive sequences.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Team Sports with Simple Rules<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd3e Simplified Handball<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Handball primarily requires skill and coordination to catch and throw the ball. With simplified rules and appropriate guidance, it can be practiced by people with dyspraxia. Emphasizing cooperation rather than competition helps reduce pressure.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfd0 Adapted Volleyball<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>People with dyspraxia can focus on the basic gestures of volleyball \u2014 serving or returning the ball \u2014 without worrying about all the complex rules. Playing with a suitably sized ball and in a supportive team creates an inclusive and stimulating environment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>The key in choosing a sport for a person with dyspraxia is to prioritize activities that allow them to progress at their own pace, without initially relying on coordination with other players, with simple and predictable rules, and in a supportive environment where mistakes are accepted. Once the motor skills are developed in this secure setting, gradually expanding to more complex or team sports becomes possible and enriching.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"strategies\">3. Strategies to Facilitate Sports Practice<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin:20px 0;text-align:center\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abcdhe-143.jpg\" alt=\"Dyspraxia sports strategies motor coordination\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:70%;border-radius:16px;box-shadow:0 8px 30px rgba(0,0,0,.1);margin:0 auto;\"><\/figure>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udd04 Repetition of Movements<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>The repetition of movements is essential to help people with dyspraxia acquire new motor skills. By regularly repeating specific movements, they can gradually improve their coordination and self-confidence. Repetition should be carefully dosed \u2014 enough times to anchor the gesture, but not to the point of discouraging or exhausting.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Visualization of movements<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Visualization can also be helpful. By mentally imagining the movements before executing them, dyspraxic individuals can better understand the necessary steps and anticipate the actions to be performed. This can help improve coordination and reduce anxiety related to sports practice. Clear verbal instructions, breaking down each gesture into simple steps, effectively complement visualization.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfbe Use of appropriate tools<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>The use of appropriate tools can facilitate sports practice. For example, a lighter racket or a larger ball can make tennis more accessible. A bike with stabilizers or a swimming board can help improve balance and coordination. These equipment adaptations reduce the cognitive load related to mastering the material, allowing focus on the gesture itself.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcdd Decomposition of gestures<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>For dyspraxic individuals, complex movements must be broken down into simple sequences and learned step by step. \u201cFirst, place your feet like this. Then, raise your arm. Now, rotate\u2026\u201d \u2014 this sequential approach precisely corresponds to the motor planning needs of dyspraxic individuals, who struggle to anticipate and chain a complex sequence of movements.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>These strategies are not exclusive \u2014 they combine and reinforce each other. A coach who clearly breaks down the gesture (verbally and through demonstration), encourages visualization before execution, and then guides progressive repetition with appropriate material, creates optimal motor learning conditions for a dyspraxic individual. Patience is the ingredient that holds everything together \u2014 without it, the best technical strategies fail.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"encadrement\">4. The Importance of Supervision and Support<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Supervision and support are essential to help individuals with dyspraxia engage in physical activity safely and appropriately. Coaches and sports educators play a key role in encouragement and support. They must be aware of the specific needs of these individuals and be able to offer adaptations and exercises suited to their abilities.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Qualities of an Adapted Framework for Dyspraxia<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Patience and Kindness:<\/strong> never show impatience in the face of difficulties \u2014 the dyspraxic person makes significant efforts for actions that seem simple to others.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Clear Communication:<\/strong> short and precise verbal instructions, one step at a time, with systematic positive feedback on progress.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Adaptability:<\/strong> know how to modify an exercise in real-time if the person is struggling \u2014 without it being perceived as a “demotion”.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Collaboration:<\/strong> work in connection with parents and health professionals (occupational therapist, psychomotor therapist) to ensure consistency in approaches.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Encouragement of Autonomy:<\/strong> gradually reduce assistance so that the person develops confidence in their own abilities.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>Communication with parents and health professionals is also important to ensure adequate support. Parents can provide valuable information about their child’s specific needs \u2014 their strengths, vulnerabilities, strategies that work at home, sources of anxiety to anticipate. This tripartite collaboration between coach, family, and health professionals is the condition for truly effective support.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"collectif\">5. The Benefits of Team Sports<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Team sports can offer numerous benefits to people with dyspraxia. First of all, they promote the development of socialization by allowing interaction with other players, which can help improve social skills and strengthen the sense of belonging to a group.<\/pee><pee>Moreover, team sports stimulate cooperation and team spirit. By working together to achieve a common goal, dyspraxic individuals learn to collaborate, share, and respect other players. This can have a positive impact on their personal development and their ability to work in a team in other areas of their lives.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Adapt collective sports to dyspraxia<\/div>\n<p> <pee>For participation in a collective sport to be positive, it is necessary to choose a sport with sufficiently simple rules, a caring supervision that understands dyspraxia, a team where competition is not the main goal, and the possibility to play different roles according to abilities (a dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or a good strategist even if they are less comfortable with quick movements).<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>However, for collective sports to be a positive experience for a dyspraxic person, certain conditions are necessary. The team must be caring and inclusive, the coach trained in the specifics of dyspraxia, the rules clearly explained, and the roles assigned taking into account everyone’s strengths. A dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or an excellent strategist even if they are less comfortable with running and quick direction changes \u2014 recognizing and valuing these strengths completely changes the experience of collective sports.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"individuel\">6. Adapted Individual Sports<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Individual sports can also be adapted for people with dyspraxia. Racket sports, such as table tennis or squash, can be a good option as they allow for working on coordination and fine motor skills. The ball is small and the exchanges are short \u2014 ideal for developing reactivity and hand-eye coordination.<\/pee><pee>Dance is another individual sport that can be adapted for people with dyspraxia. It allows for working on coordination, flexibility, and body expression in an artistic setting. For those who are apprehensive about the gaze of others, small group classes or private lessons may be preferable at first. Dance can be a liberating activity for dyspraxic individuals \u2014 a space where “good execution” is defined by expression rather than technical precision.<\/pee><pee>Dance deserves special mention. For many dyspraxic individuals, dance is revealing \u2014 by working on coordination in an artistic and expressive setting, it bypasses the blocks related to performance and competition to reach something more fundamental: the joy of movement. Studies have shown that dance-based interventions produce significant improvements in coordination and self-esteem in individuals with DCD. African dance, hip-hop, rock’n’roll, or contemporary dance \u2014 with their emphasis on energy and expressiveness rather than technical perfection \u2014 are particularly accessible.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"aquatiques\">7. Aquatic Sports \u2014 Benefits and Recommendations<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Aquatic sports offer many benefits for people with dyspraxia. First of all, water provides natural resistance that can help improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in water are smoother and less constraining, which can facilitate their execution for dyspraxic individuals.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming \u2014 recommended basic sport<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Swimming is a complete sport that engages all the muscles in the body and improves overall coordination. The resistance of the water slows down movements and gives more time to adjust them \u2014 a valuable advantage for dyspraxic individuals. The sensation of buoyancy also reduces the impact of clumsiness, creating a safe environment to experiment and learn.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcaa Aquagym<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Aquagym is a gentler activity that allows for muscle strengthening and flexibility work. In a small group, with a suitable instructor, it is an accessible option for dyspraxics of all levels. The music and collective rhythm help to pace the movements \u2014 a useful support for individuals who struggle to initiate motor sequences spontaneously.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udd3f Scuba diving<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Scuba diving may seem counterintuitive for dyspraxic individuals, but it can be particularly beneficial. The combination of water, buoyancy, and the slowness of underwater movements can allow for a focus on movements and the development of self-confidence. Diving requires training with a qualified instructor and appropriate progression.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>Scuba diving, in particular, deserves mention. In the underwater environment, usual landmarks change \u2014 what is down is no longer necessarily “down,” movements are slowed by the water, and buoyancy alters body perception. For some dyspraxic individuals, this beneficial disorientation can paradoxically facilitate motor learning by “resetting” habitual movement patterns and allowing new ones to be built from a state of neutral buoyancy. Diving also develops a very intense awareness of the body and the environment \u2014 exactly the quality of attention to proprioceptive sensations that dyspraxic individuals often struggle to develop.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"technologies\">8. New Technologies in Sports Support<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Technological advancements offer new opportunities to promote physical activity among individuals with dyspraxia. With innovative and playful digital tools, it is possible to make sports sessions more accessible, more motivating, and better suited.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box-label\">\ud83c\udfae DYNSEO App<\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-box-title\">COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES \u2014 DYS adapted sports and cognition<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES from DYNSEO offer playful and progressive programs that combine cognitive games and integrated sports breaks. Every 15 minutes of cognitive activity, COCO proposes a sports break adapted to the child’s motor abilities \u2014 including exercises accessible to dyspraxic children, with clear and visual instructions.<\/pee> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-inner\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"expert-inner-title\">\u2726 Complementary technologies<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Movement video games (exergaming) \u2014 Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure \u2014 to work on coordination in a playful setting \u00b7 Smartwatches to encourage daily activity \u00b7 Sports coaching apps with explanatory videos \u00b7 Virtual reality for safe environments.<\/pee> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Benefits of using technology<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Better motivation:<\/strong> the playful format increases engagement and reduces resistance to physical activity.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Individualized tracking:<\/strong> adaptable difficulty levels, measurable and visible progress.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Immediate feedback:<\/strong> feedback on movements to facilitate learning and self-correction.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> sessions can be done at home or in a specialized center, without expensive equipment.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Reduction of social anxiety:<\/strong> practicing alone or in a virtual environment reduces the fear of others’ gaze.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>New technologies also transform access to sports for dyspraxic individuals by reducing social and spatial barriers. Where a dyspraxic person might hesitate to join a sports club for fear of others’ gaze or not being able to follow group instructions, digital applications and games allow them to train alone, at their own pace, in a safe environment, before possibly joining a group. This progression from virtual to real can be a valuable transition for those most inhibited by their disorder.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"regularite\">9. The Importance of Regularity and Routine<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Regularity in physical activity plays a crucial role in the development of motor skills and self-confidence in individuals with dyspraxia. Establishing a stable sports routine not only helps to better anchor learning but also creates a safe framework, essential for overall well-being.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcc5 Set specific days and times<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Plan sports sessions on fixed days and times, integrating them into a visual schedule. Predictability is particularly important for dyspraxic individuals, who benefit from a stable and predictable environment to reduce their anxiety.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83d\udcca Use a progress chart<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>A notebook of activities or a progress chart to note the exercises completed, feelings, and improvements. Seeing documented progress is a powerful motivator, especially for individuals whose difficulties are often invisible to others but very present to themselves.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udf1f Celebrate every small success<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Celebrate every small success, no matter how minor, to reinforce motivation. For a dyspraxic person, successfully catching a ball 3 times in a row can represent a considerable effort \u2014 this effort deserves to be recognized and celebrated, even if the performance seems modest in comparison.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\u23f1\ufe0f Favor short but regular sessions<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Sessions of 20 to 30 minutes conducted regularly (2 to 3 times a week) are much more effective than long spaced-out sessions. Motor and cognitive fatigue accumulates quickly in dyspraxic individuals \u2014 stopping before exhaustion is essential to maintain a positive experience.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>The sports routine plays a particularly important role for dyspraxic children, who benefit from predictable and repetitive structures. When a sports session always follows the same sequence \u2014 warm-up, main exercise, cool down \u2014 the child can anticipate each step and focus their attention on execution rather than on understanding what will happen next. This predictability reduces anxiety and frees cognitive resources for motor learning. For dyspraxic adults, the sports routine is also a protection against procrastination \u2014 knowing exactly what to do and when eliminates decision-making moments that are often obstacles to taking action.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"jeux-coordination\">10. Coordination Games and Fine Motor Activities<\/h2>\n<p><pee>In addition to sports per se, play activities can be gradually integrated into the daily lives of dyspraxic children to work on coordination in a playful and non-competitive setting.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h3>Adapted coordination games<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udea2 Jump rope<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Jump rope is a simple game that helps develop coordination between the arms and legs. For dyspraxic children, starting with a rope held on the ground, then gradually raised, allows them to acquire the necessary timing without frustration. The goal is first to jump at the right moment, not to perform consecutive jumps.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Hopscotch<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Hopscotch combines jumps and precise movements, promoting coordination and balance. For dyspraxic children, it can be adapted by drawing larger squares, reducing the number of steps, or allowing them to hold onto a wall or an adult’s hand at the beginning. Hopscotch also works on movement planning \u2014 which square next, with which foot \u2014 making it an excellent exercise for motor executive functions.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Fine motor activities<\/h3>\n<p><pee>Fine motor skills \u2014 the precision of hand and finger movements \u2014 are often particularly affected in dyspraxia. Daily activities can gradually strengthen them, outside of any sports context.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\u2702\ufe0f Cutting and coloring<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Cutting requires good coordination between the hand and the eyes. Start by cutting simple shapes along thick lines, then progress to more complex shapes. Coloring also engages hand-eye coordination while allowing for the development of gesture precision in a creative and low-anxiety environment.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <\/p>\n<h4>\ud83e\udde9 Object manipulation<\/h4>\n<p> <pee>Stacking cubes, playing with modeling clay, assembling puzzles, screwing and unscrewing lids \u2014 all these daily activities strengthen hand muscles and improve fine coordination. The advantage is that they can be naturally integrated into daily life, without requiring a formal “session” that could be perceived as burdensome.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><pee>Coordination and fine motor games should not be presented as “therapeutic exercises” \u2014 they should be experienced as games. A dyspraxic child having fun playing hopscotch while laughing with friends works on their coordination much more effectively than a child doing repetitive exercises in a clinical setting. Enjoyment is the best vehicle for motor learning \u2014 it reduces anxiety, increases motivation to repeat, and creates positive memories associated with movement that encourage future practice.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"psychomotricite\">11. Role of the Psychomotor Therapist and Therapists<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Psychomotor rehabilitation is the cornerstone of supporting dyspraxia. The psychomotor therapist assesses motor skills, establishes a personalized rehabilitation program, and works on the foundations of motor skills \u2014 balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization, movement planning. This specialized rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on neuromotor foundations, the other applies them in concrete playful and social contexts.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\u2726 Professionals to Consult for Dyspraxia and Sports<\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<ul> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Psychomotor Therapist:<\/strong> global and fine motor rehabilitation, work on body schema, motor planning, balance. Reference professional for dyspraxia.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Occupational Therapist:<\/strong> adaptation of tools and environment (posture, adapted materials), fine motor rehabilitation, advice for daily and school life.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Physiotherapist:<\/strong> muscle strengthening, work on posture and endurance. Complementary to the psychomotor therapist for the physical aspects of dyspraxia.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Specialized Sports Educator (APA):<\/strong> teacher of Adapted Physical Activity, specialized in sports practice for people with special needs.<\/li>\n<p> <\/p>\n<li><strong>Neuropsychologist:<\/strong> complete cognitive assessment to identify associated deficient functions and guide interventions.<\/li>\n<p> <\/ul>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>The coordination between these different professionals is essential. A dyspraxic child followed simultaneously by a psychomotor therapist, an occupational therapist, and a specialized educator benefits more from each intervention than if these supports are compartmentalized. Parents play a key role in this coordination \u2014 by transmitting information between professionals, aligning strategies at home, and maintaining a global view of their child’s progress.<\/pee><pee>The coordination between the psychomotor therapist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and specialized educator is ideal but not always accessible \u2014 appointment delays can be long and resources unevenly distributed geographically. In this context, digital applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES offer an accessible complementary solution \u2014 a structured, progressive, and playful training that the child can do at their own pace at home, between sessions with professionals. These tools do not replace professional rehabilitation \u2014 they complement and extend it in daily life.<\/pee><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"vie-quotidienne\">12. Dyspraxia, Sports, and Daily Life<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia does not stop at sports sessions \u2014 it manifests in many daily activities that require coordination and motor planning. Dressing, cutting meat, tying shoes, holding a pen, opening a jar \u2014 all these actions that seem automatic for most people require conscious and often frustrating effort for dyspraxic individuals.<\/pee><pee>Regular sports practice helps improve these everyday gestures. By developing coordination, balance, and motor planning in a sports context, these improvements gradually generalize to daily life activities. A child who learns to better coordinate their movements in swimming may also progress in how they hold their pencil. A teenager who develops their balance on a bike may have fewer difficulties navigating through crowded spaces.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Integrate movement into daily life<\/div>\n<p> <pee>Take advantage of everyday opportunities to work on coordination without performance pressure \u2014 setting the table (fine motor skills), going up and down stairs by placing one foot on each step (coordination and balance), putting away groceries (spatial organization), doing simple cooking (bimanual coordination). These “incidental” activities complement formal sports sessions and anchor progress in the context of real life.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia affects about 5 to 7% of the population \u2014 it is one of the most common developmental disorders. Yet, it often remains unknown and underdiagnosed, particularly in girls and adults. Many dyspraxic individuals go through childhood and adolescence without a diagnosis, attributing their motor difficulties to “clumsiness,” a “lack of natural coordination,” or simply a lack of effort. This diagnostic delay has significant consequences \u2014 years of accumulated frustration, low self-esteem, and avoidance of physical activities that could have provided help and enjoyment.<\/pee><pee>If you recognize persistent coordination difficulties in yourself or a loved one \u2014 difficulties learning new movements, repeated clumsiness in daily activities, anxiety regarding sports activities, difficult writing \u2014 consulting a psychomotor therapist for an assessment is a step that can profoundly change the trajectory. The diagnosis of dyspraxia is not a verdict \u2014 it is a tool that opens access to tailored support and replaces shame with understanding.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-list\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>Does dyspraxia improve with sports practice?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>Yes \u2014 regular and appropriate sports practice is one of the most effective interventions to improve motor skills in dyspraxia. The plastic brain develops new motor circuits through the repetition of targeted exercises. Progress can be significant, especially in children whose brains are developing. However, dyspraxia generally does not “disappear” completely \u2014 the goal is to develop effective compensation strategies and improve quality of life, not to fully normalize the motor profile.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>What is the role of the psychomotor therapist in the sports support of dyspraxia?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>The psychomotor therapist is the reference professional for the rehabilitation of dyspraxia. They assess motor skills, establish a personalized rehabilitation program, and work on the foundations of motor skills (balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization). They can advise parents and sports coaches on the adaptations to be made. Psychomotor rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on the basics, the other applies them in a playful and social context.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-item\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-q\"><span>COCO MOVES is it suitable for dyspraxic children?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><pee>COCO MOVES was designed with DYS and dyspraxic profiles in mind. Physical exercises are offered with clear instructions, an adaptable pace, and progressive levels. The interface is streamlined to reduce cognitive overload. The sports breaks every 15 minutes of screen time precisely meet the regular movement needs of dyspraxic children, while preventing fatigue related to prolonged screen time. COCO can be used independently by the child or guided by an adult.<\/pee><\/div>\n<p> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>In conclusion, dyspraxia can present challenges in sports practice \u2014 but this absolutely does not mean that individuals with this disorder cannot enjoy the benefits of physical activity. By choosing sports suited to their abilities, benefiting from informed and caring guidance, using specific strategies of breakdown and repetition, and building a regular and secure routine \u2014 dyspraxic individuals can not only engage in sports but also gain considerable benefits for their coordination, self-confidence, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.<\/pee><pee>The journey may be longer and more demanding than for a person without coordination disorders \u2014 but every progress, no matter how small, represents a remarkable effort and deserves to be celebrated. Dyspraxic individuals who persevere in their sports practice develop not only motor skills but also resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles that serve them in all areas of their lives. Adapted sports, with the right tools and the right support, is one of the greatest opportunities that can be offered to a dyspraxic person.<\/pee><\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-box\"> <\/p>\n<h3>\ud83c\udfc3 Support your dyspraxic children with COCO MOVES<\/h3>\n<p> <pee>Adapted DYS physical exercises \u00b7 Clear instructions \u00b7 Integrated sports break \u00b7 Progressive levels \u00b7 7 days free trial.<\/pee> <\/p>\n<div class=\"cta-buttons\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/brain-games-apps\/coco-educational-games\/\" class=\"btn-white\">\ud83c\udfae Discover COCO \u2192<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/accompagner-les-enfants-dys-2\/\" class=\"btn-outline\">DYS Guide \u2192<\/a> <\/div>\n<p><\/div>\n<p><pee>Dyspraxia does not define a person \u2014 it characterizes a different way of processing and executing movements.

class=\"container\"><div class=\"intro-block\">Dyspraxia is a developmental disorder that affects motor coordination in children and adults. People with dyspraxia have difficulties planning and executing voluntary movements, which can make sports practice more complex. Symptoms typically include poor coordination, balance difficulties, weak fine motor skills, and altered spatial perception. But this does not mean that sports are inaccessible \u2014 on the contrary, with proper support, physical activity is one of the best interventions available for dyspraxia.<\/div><div class=\"stats-grid\"> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">5-7%<\/div><div class=\"label\">Of children have motor coordination disorders (DCD)<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">Motor Skills<\/div><div class=\"label\">Gross and fine \u2014 both are improved by adapted physical activity<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">Routine<\/div><div class=\"label\">Regularity is key \u2014 2 sessions per week produce measurable results<\/div><\/div> <div class=\"stat-card\"><div class=\"number\">COCO<\/div>\n<div class=\"label\">DYS and dyspraxia adapted application \u2014 integrated sports break<\/div><\/div><\/div><p>However, despite these real obstacles, sports practice is not only possible for dyspraxic people \u2014 it is highly recommended. The benefits far outweigh the initial difficulties, provided that the right activities are chosen, the supervision is adapted, and a progressive and caring approach is adopted. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of recommended sports, effective strategies, and tools to make sports a positive and transformative experience for people with dyspraxia.<\/p><h2 id=\"bienfaits\">1. The Benefits of Physical Activity for Dyspraxic People<\/h2><h3>Improvement of coordination and motor skills<\/h3><p>People with dyspraxia can benefit from regular physical activity. By performing specific exercises, they can gradually develop their motor skills and improve their coordination. For example, ball games can help improve hand-eye coordination and the precision of movements. The brain is plastic \u2014 with regular and well-adapted practice, it creates new motor connections that gradually compensate for the movement planning difficulties characteristic of dyspraxia.<\/p><h3>Boosting self-confidence and self-esteem<\/h3><p>Physical activity can also have a positive impact on the self-confidence and self-esteem of people with dyspraxia. By succeeding in performing movements or actions they thought impossible, they gain confidence and feel proud of their achievements. Learning to ride a bike can be a challenge for a dyspraxic person, but by achieving it, they strengthen their confidence in their abilities. These motor successes have effects that generalize \u2014 the child who succeeds in riding a bike develops a perception of themselves as \"capable of learning new things\" that benefits all other areas of their life.<\/p><h3>Reduction of stress and anxiety<\/h3><p>Engaging in physical activity can help reduce stress and anxiety in people with dyspraxia. By focusing on their movements during exercise, they can relax and decrease their stress levels. Additionally, physical activity stimulates the release of endorphins \u2014 hormones of well-being \u2014 which can improve mood and reduce anxiety symptoms. For dyspraxic children, often anxious about not succeeding in motor activities, a safe and caring sports practice can be particularly transformative.<\/p><p>The benefits of physical activity for dyspraxia are documented by research in neuroscience and developmental psychology. A 2019 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Developmental & Behavioral Pediatrics showed that structured motor interventions produce significant improvements in motor skills in children with DCD (Developmental Coordination Disorder \u2014 the clinical term for dyspraxia), with effects that persist over time. These results support the importance of regular and adapted practice rather than avoiding physical activities for fear of difficulties.<\/p><h2 id=\"sports-recommandes\">2. Recommended Sports for Dyspraxic People<\/h2><h3>Simple individual sports<\/h3>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming<\/h4> <p>Swimming is an excellent sport for people with dyspraxia. It allows them to focus on their own movements in the water, without having to interact with other players. The water provides natural resistance that helps improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in the water are smoother and less restrictive, making them easier to execute. Additionally, the repetitive nature of swimming movements promotes their gradual integration into the motor repertoire.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udeb4 Cycling<\/h4> <p>Cycling not only offers physical benefits but also allows people with dyspraxia to develop their motor skills by pedaling and focusing on the route. It is recommended to start with stabilizer wheels to help develop balance gradually. Outdoor cycling also develops eye-environment coordination and spatial anticipation.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Running<\/h4> <p>While running, people with dyspraxia can work on their coordination and balance while progressing at their own pace. Running is accessible, does not require complex equipment, and progress is easily measurable (distance, time). For beginners, it is recommended to start with brisk walking and then gradually incorporate running.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd38 Gymnastics and Circus Arts<\/h4> <p>Gymnastics helps strengthen flexibility and coordination of movements. Exercises are done at one's own pace, which is ideal for people with dyspraxia. Circus arts \u2014 juggling, simple acrobatics, balance \u2014 are also particularly recommended as they break down movements into clear and progressive sequences.<\/p><\/div><h3>Team Sports with Simple Rules<\/h3><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd3e Simplified Handball<\/h4> <p>Handball primarily requires skill and coordination to catch and throw the ball. With simplified rules and appropriate guidance, it can be practiced by people with dyspraxia. Emphasizing cooperation rather than competition helps reduce pressure.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfd0 Adapted Volleyball<\/h4> <p>People with dyspraxia can focus on the basic gestures of volleyball \u2014 serving or returning the ball \u2014 without worrying about all the complex rules. Playing with a suitably sized ball and in a supportive team creates an inclusive and stimulating environment.<\/p><\/div><p>The key in choosing a sport for a person with dyspraxia is to prioritize activities that allow them to progress at their own pace, without initially relying on coordination with other players, with simple and predictable rules, and in a supportive environment where mistakes are accepted. Once the motor skills are developed in this secure setting, gradually expanding to more complex or team sports becomes possible and enriching.<\/p><h2 id=\"strategies\">3. Strategies to Facilitate Sports Practice<\/h2><figure style=\"margin:20px 0;text-align:center\"> <img src=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/abcdhe-143.jpg\" alt=\"Dyspraxia sports strategies motor coordination\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:70%;border-radius:16px;box-shadow:0 8px 30px rgba(0,0,0,.1);margin:0 auto;\"><\/figure><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udd04 Repetition of Movements<\/h4> <p>The repetition of movements is essential to help people with dyspraxia acquire new motor skills. By regularly repeating specific movements, they can gradually improve their coordination and self-confidence. Repetition should be carefully dosed \u2014 enough times to anchor the gesture, but not to the point of discouraging or exhausting.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f Visualization of movements<\/h4> <p>Visualization can also be helpful. By mentally imagining the movements before executing them, dyspraxic individuals can better understand the necessary steps and anticipate the actions to be performed. This can help improve coordination and reduce anxiety related to sports practice. Clear verbal instructions, breaking down each gesture into simple steps, effectively complement visualization.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfbe Use of appropriate tools<\/h4> <p>The use of appropriate tools can facilitate sports practice. For example, a lighter racket or a larger ball can make tennis more accessible. A bike with stabilizers or a swimming board can help improve balance and coordination. These equipment adaptations reduce the cognitive load related to mastering the material, allowing focus on the gesture itself.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcdd Decomposition of gestures<\/h4> <p>For dyspraxic individuals, complex movements must be broken down into simple sequences and learned step by step. \u201cFirst, place your feet like this. Then, raise your arm. Now, rotate\u2026\u201d \u2014 this sequential approach precisely corresponds to the motor planning needs of dyspraxic individuals, who struggle to anticipate and chain a complex sequence of movements.<\/p><\/div><p>These strategies are not exclusive \u2014 they combine and reinforce each other. A coach who clearly breaks down the gesture (verbally and through demonstration), encourages visualization before execution, and then guides progressive repetition with appropriate material, creates optimal motor learning conditions for a dyspraxic individual. Patience is the ingredient that holds everything together \u2014 without it, the best technical strategies fail.<\/p><h2 id=\"encadrement\">4. The Importance of Supervision and Support<\/h2><p>Supervision and support are essential to help individuals with dyspraxia engage in physical activity safely and appropriately. Coaches and sports educators play a key role in encouragement and support. They must be aware of the specific needs of these individuals and be able to offer adaptations and exercises suited to their abilities.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Qualities of an Adapted Framework for Dyspraxia<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Patience and Kindness:<\/strong> never show impatience in the face of difficulties \u2014 the dyspraxic person makes significant efforts for actions that seem simple to others.<\/li> <li><strong>Clear Communication:<\/strong> short and precise verbal instructions, one step at a time, with systematic positive feedback on progress.<\/li> <li><strong>Adaptability:<\/strong> know how to modify an exercise in real-time if the person is struggling \u2014 without it being perceived as a \"demotion\".<\/li> <li><strong>Collaboration:<\/strong> work in connection with parents and health professionals (occupational therapist, psychomotor therapist) to ensure consistency in approaches.<\/li> <li><strong>Encouragement of Autonomy:<\/strong> gradually reduce assistance so that the person develops confidence in their own abilities.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>Communication with parents and health professionals is also important to ensure adequate support. Parents can provide valuable information about their child's specific needs \u2014 their strengths, vulnerabilities, strategies that work at home, sources of anxiety to anticipate. This tripartite collaboration between coach, family, and health professionals is the condition for truly effective support.<\/p><h2 id=\"collectif\">5. The Benefits of Team Sports<\/h2><p>Team sports can offer numerous benefits to people with dyspraxia. First of all, they promote the development of socialization by allowing interaction with other players, which can help improve social skills and strengthen the sense of belonging to a group.<\/p><p>Moreover, team sports stimulate cooperation and team spirit. By working together to achieve a common goal, dyspraxic individuals learn to collaborate, share, and respect other players. This can have a positive impact on their personal development and their ability to work in a team in other areas of their lives.<\/p><div class=\"tip-box\">\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Adapt collective sports to dyspraxia<\/div> <p>For participation in a collective sport to be positive, it is necessary to choose a sport with sufficiently simple rules, a caring supervision that understands dyspraxia, a team where competition is not the main goal, and the possibility to play different roles according to abilities (a dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or a good strategist even if they are less comfortable with quick movements).<\/p><\/div><p>However, for collective sports to be a positive experience for a dyspraxic person, certain conditions are necessary. The team must be caring and inclusive, the coach trained in the specifics of dyspraxia, the rules clearly explained, and the roles assigned taking into account everyone's strengths. A dyspraxic child can be an excellent goalkeeper or an excellent strategist even if they are less comfortable with running and quick direction changes \u2014 recognizing and valuing these strengths completely changes the experience of collective sports.<\/p><h2 id=\"individuel\">6. Adapted Individual Sports<\/h2><p>Individual sports can also be adapted for people with dyspraxia. Racket sports, such as table tennis or squash, can be a good option as they allow for working on coordination and fine motor skills. The ball is small and the exchanges are short \u2014 ideal for developing reactivity and hand-eye coordination.<\/p><p>Dance is another individual sport that can be adapted for people with dyspraxia. It allows for working on coordination, flexibility, and body expression in an artistic setting. For those who are apprehensive about the gaze of others, small group classes or private lessons may be preferable at first. Dance can be a liberating activity for dyspraxic individuals \u2014 a space where \"good execution\" is defined by expression rather than technical precision.<\/p><p>Dance deserves special mention. For many dyspraxic individuals, dance is revealing \u2014 by working on coordination in an artistic and expressive setting, it bypasses the blocks related to performance and competition to reach something more fundamental: the joy of movement. Studies have shown that dance-based interventions produce significant improvements in coordination and self-esteem in individuals with DCD. African dance, hip-hop, rock'n'roll, or contemporary dance \u2014 with their emphasis on energy and expressiveness rather than technical perfection \u2014 are particularly accessible.<\/p><h2 id=\"aquatiques\">7. Aquatic Sports \u2014 Benefits and Recommendations<\/h2><p>Aquatic sports offer many benefits for people with dyspraxia. First of all, water provides natural resistance that can help improve coordination and muscle strength. Movements in water are smoother and less constraining, which can facilitate their execution for dyspraxic individuals.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfca Swimming \u2014 recommended basic sport<\/h4> <p>Swimming is a complete sport that engages all the muscles in the body and improves overall coordination. The resistance of the water slows down movements and gives more time to adjust them \u2014 a valuable advantage for dyspraxic individuals. The sensation of buoyancy also reduces the impact of clumsiness, creating a safe environment to experiment and learn.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcaa Aquagym<\/h4> <p>Aquagym is a gentler activity that allows for muscle strengthening and flexibility work. In a small group, with a suitable instructor, it is an accessible option for dyspraxics of all levels. The music and collective rhythm help to pace the movements \u2014 a useful support for individuals who struggle to initiate motor sequences spontaneously.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udd3f Scuba diving<\/h4> <p>Scuba diving may seem counterintuitive for dyspraxic individuals, but it can be particularly beneficial. The combination of water, buoyancy, and the slowness of underwater movements can allow for a focus on movements and the development of self-confidence. Diving requires training with a qualified instructor and appropriate progression.<\/p><\/div><p>Scuba diving, in particular, deserves mention. In the underwater environment, usual landmarks change \u2014 what is down is no longer necessarily \"down,\" movements are slowed by the water, and buoyancy alters body perception. For some dyspraxic individuals, this beneficial disorientation can paradoxically facilitate motor learning by \"resetting\" habitual movement patterns and allowing new ones to be built from a state of neutral buoyancy. Diving also develops a very intense awareness of the body and the environment \u2014 exactly the quality of attention to proprioceptive sensations that dyspraxic individuals often struggle to develop.<\/p><h2 id=\"technologies\">8. New Technologies in Sports Support<\/h2><p>Technological advancements offer new opportunities to promote physical activity among individuals with dyspraxia. With innovative and playful digital tools, it is possible to make sports sessions more accessible, more motivating, and better suited.<\/p><div class=\"expert-box\"> <div class=\"expert-box-label\">\ud83c\udfae DYNSEO App<\/div> <div class=\"expert-box-title\">COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES \u2014 DYS adapted sports and cognition<\/div> <p>Applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES from DYNSEO offer playful and progressive programs that combine cognitive games and integrated sports breaks. Every 15 minutes of cognitive activity, COCO proposes a sports break adapted to the child's motor abilities \u2014 including exercises accessible to dyspraxic children, with clear and visual instructions.<\/p> <div class=\"expert-inner\"> <div class=\"expert-inner-title\">\u2726 Complementary technologies<\/div> <p>Movement video games (exergaming) \u2014 Just Dance, Ring Fit Adventure \u2014 to work on coordination in a playful setting \u00b7 Smartwatches to encourage daily activity \u00b7 Sports coaching apps with explanatory videos \u00b7 Virtual reality for safe environments.<\/p> <\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Benefits of using technology<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Better motivation:<\/strong> the playful format increases engagement and reduces resistance to physical activity.<\/li> <li><strong>Individualized tracking:<\/strong> adaptable difficulty levels, measurable and visible progress.<\/li> <li><strong>Immediate feedback:<\/strong> feedback on movements to facilitate learning and self-correction.<\/li> <li><strong>Accessibility:<\/strong> sessions can be done at home or in a specialized center, without expensive equipment.<\/li> <li><strong>Reduction of social anxiety:<\/strong> practicing alone or in a virtual environment reduces the fear of others' gaze.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>New technologies also transform access to sports for dyspraxic individuals by reducing social and spatial barriers. Where a dyspraxic person might hesitate to join a sports club for fear of others' gaze or not being able to follow group instructions, digital applications and games allow them to train alone, at their own pace, in a safe environment, before possibly joining a group. This progression from virtual to real can be a valuable transition for those most inhibited by their disorder.<\/p><h2 id=\"regularite\">9. The Importance of Regularity and Routine<\/h2><p>Regularity in physical activity plays a crucial role in the development of motor skills and self-confidence in individuals with dyspraxia. Establishing a stable sports routine not only helps to better anchor learning but also creates a safe framework, essential for overall well-being.<\/p><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcc5 Set specific days and times<\/h4> <p>Plan sports sessions on fixed days and times, integrating them into a visual schedule. Predictability is particularly important for dyspraxic individuals, who benefit from a stable and predictable environment to reduce their anxiety.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83d\udcca Use a progress chart<\/h4> <p>A notebook of activities or a progress chart to note the exercises completed, feelings, and improvements. Seeing documented progress is a powerful motivator, especially for individuals whose difficulties are often invisible to others but very present to themselves.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udf1f Celebrate every small success<\/h4> <p>Celebrate every small success, no matter how minor, to reinforce motivation. For a dyspraxic person, successfully catching a ball 3 times in a row can represent a considerable effort \u2014 this effort deserves to be recognized and celebrated, even if the performance seems modest in comparison.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\u23f1\ufe0f Favor short but regular sessions<\/h4> <p>Sessions of 20 to 30 minutes conducted regularly (2 to 3 times a week) are much more effective than long spaced-out sessions. Motor and cognitive fatigue accumulates quickly in dyspraxic individuals \u2014 stopping before exhaustion is essential to maintain a positive experience.<\/p><\/div><p>The sports routine plays a particularly important role for dyspraxic children, who benefit from predictable and repetitive structures. When a sports session always follows the same sequence \u2014 warm-up, main exercise, cool down \u2014 the child can anticipate each step and focus their attention on execution rather than on understanding what will happen next. This predictability reduces anxiety and frees cognitive resources for motor learning. For dyspraxic adults, the sports routine is also a protection against procrastination \u2014 knowing exactly what to do and when eliminates decision-making moments that are often obstacles to taking action.<\/p><h2 id=\"jeux-coordination\">10. Coordination Games and Fine Motor Activities<\/h2><p>In addition to sports per se, play activities can be gradually integrated into the daily lives of dyspraxic children to work on coordination in a playful and non-competitive setting.<\/p><h3>Adapted coordination games<\/h3><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udea2 Jump rope<\/h4> <p>Jump rope is a simple game that helps develop coordination between the arms and legs. For dyspraxic children, starting with a rope held on the ground, then gradually raised, allows them to acquire the necessary timing without frustration. The goal is first to jump at the right moment, not to perform consecutive jumps.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"sport-card\"> <h4>\ud83c\udfc3 Hopscotch<\/h4> <p>Hopscotch combines jumps and precise movements, promoting coordination and balance. For dyspraxic children, it can be adapted by drawing larger squares, reducing the number of steps, or allowing them to hold onto a wall or an adult's hand at the beginning. Hopscotch also works on movement planning \u2014 which square next, with which foot \u2014 making it an excellent exercise for motor executive functions.<\/p><\/div><h3>Fine motor activities<\/h3><p>Fine motor skills \u2014 the precision of hand and finger movements \u2014 are often particularly affected in dyspraxia. Daily activities can gradually strengthen them, outside of any sports context.<\/p><div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\u2702\ufe0f Cutting and coloring<\/h4> <p>Cutting requires good coordination between the hand and the eyes. Start by cutting simple shapes along thick lines, then progress to more complex shapes. Coloring also engages hand-eye coordination while allowing for the development of gesture precision in a creative and low-anxiety environment.<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"conseil-card\"> <h4>\ud83e\udde9 Object manipulation<\/h4> <p>Stacking cubes, playing with modeling clay, assembling puzzles, screwing and unscrewing lids \u2014 all these daily activities strengthen hand muscles and improve fine coordination. The advantage is that they can be naturally integrated into daily life, without requiring a formal \"session\" that could be perceived as burdensome.<\/p><\/div><p>Coordination and fine motor games should not be presented as \"therapeutic exercises\" \u2014 they should be experienced as games. A dyspraxic child having fun playing hopscotch while laughing with friends works on their coordination much more effectively than a child doing repetitive exercises in a clinical setting. Enjoyment is the best vehicle for motor learning \u2014 it reduces anxiety, increases motivation to repeat, and creates positive memories associated with movement that encourage future practice.<\/p><h2 id=\"psychomotricite\">11. Role of the Psychomotor Therapist and Therapists<\/h2><p>Psychomotor rehabilitation is the cornerstone of supporting dyspraxia. The psychomotor therapist assesses motor skills, establishes a personalized rehabilitation program, and works on the foundations of motor skills \u2014 balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization, movement planning. This specialized rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on neuromotor foundations, the other applies them in concrete playful and social contexts.<\/p>\n<div class=\"key-points\"> <h3>\u2726 Professionals to Consult for Dyspraxia and Sports<\/h3> <ul> <li><strong>Psychomotor Therapist:<\/strong> global and fine motor rehabilitation, work on body schema, motor planning, balance. Reference professional for dyspraxia.<\/li> <li><strong>Occupational Therapist:<\/strong> adaptation of tools and environment (posture, adapted materials), fine motor rehabilitation, advice for daily and school life.<\/li> <li><strong>Physiotherapist:<\/strong> muscle strengthening, work on posture and endurance. Complementary to the psychomotor therapist for the physical aspects of dyspraxia.<\/li> <li><strong>Specialized Sports Educator (APA):<\/strong> teacher of Adapted Physical Activity, specialized in sports practice for people with special needs.<\/li> <li><strong>Neuropsychologist:<\/strong> complete cognitive assessment to identify associated deficient functions and guide interventions.<\/li> <\/ul><\/div><p>The coordination between these different professionals is essential. A dyspraxic child followed simultaneously by a psychomotor therapist, an occupational therapist, and a specialized educator benefits more from each intervention than if these supports are compartmentalized. Parents play a key role in this coordination \u2014 by transmitting information between professionals, aligning strategies at home, and maintaining a global view of their child's progress.<\/p><p>The coordination between the psychomotor therapist, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, and specialized educator is ideal but not always accessible \u2014 appointment delays can be long and resources unevenly distributed geographically. In this context, digital applications like COCO THINKS and COCO MOVES offer an accessible complementary solution \u2014 a structured, progressive, and playful training that the child can do at their own pace at home, between sessions with professionals. These tools do not replace professional rehabilitation \u2014 they complement and extend it in daily life.<\/p><h2 id=\"vie-quotidienne\">12. Dyspraxia, Sports, and Daily Life<\/h2><p>Dyspraxia does not stop at sports sessions \u2014 it manifests in many daily activities that require coordination and motor planning. Dressing, cutting meat, tying shoes, holding a pen, opening a jar \u2014 all these actions that seem automatic for most people require conscious and often frustrating effort for dyspraxic individuals.<\/p><p>Regular sports practice helps improve these everyday gestures. By developing coordination, balance, and motor planning in a sports context, these improvements gradually generalize to daily life activities. A child who learns to better coordinate their movements in swimming may also progress in how they hold their pencil. A teenager who develops their balance on a bike may have fewer difficulties navigating through crowded spaces.<\/p><div class=\"tip-box\">\n<div class=\"tip-box-label\">\ud83d\udca1 Integrate movement into daily life<\/div> <p>Take advantage of everyday opportunities to work on coordination without performance pressure \u2014 setting the table (fine motor skills), going up and down stairs by placing one foot on each step (coordination and balance), putting away groceries (spatial organization), doing simple cooking (bimanual coordination). These \"incidental\" activities complement formal sports sessions and anchor progress in the context of real life.<\/p><\/div><h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><p>Dyspraxia affects about 5 to 7% of the population \u2014 it is one of the most common developmental disorders. Yet, it often remains unknown and underdiagnosed, particularly in girls and adults. Many dyspraxic individuals go through childhood and adolescence without a diagnosis, attributing their motor difficulties to \"clumsiness,\" a \"lack of natural coordination,\" or simply a lack of effort. This diagnostic delay has significant consequences \u2014 years of accumulated frustration, low self-esteem, and avoidance of physical activities that could have provided help and enjoyment.<\/p><p>If you recognize persistent coordination difficulties in yourself or a loved one \u2014 difficulties learning new movements, repeated clumsiness in daily activities, anxiety regarding sports activities, difficult writing \u2014 consulting a psychomotor therapist for an assessment is a step that can profoundly change the trajectory. The diagnosis of dyspraxia is not a verdict \u2014 it is a tool that opens access to tailored support and replaces shame with understanding.<\/p><div class=\"faq-list\"> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>Does dyspraxia improve with sports practice?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div> <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>Yes \u2014 regular and appropriate sports practice is one of the most effective interventions to improve motor skills in dyspraxia. The plastic brain develops new motor circuits through the repetition of targeted exercises. Progress can be significant, especially in children whose brains are developing. However, dyspraxia generally does not \"disappear\" completely \u2014 the goal is to develop effective compensation strategies and improve quality of life, not to fully normalize the motor profile.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>What is the role of the psychomotor therapist in the sports support of dyspraxia?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div> <div class=\"faq-a\"><p>The psychomotor therapist is the reference professional for the rehabilitation of dyspraxia. They assess motor skills, establish a personalized rehabilitation program, and work on the foundations of motor skills (balance, coordination, body schema, spatial organization). They can advise parents and sports coaches on the adaptations to be made. Psychomotor rehabilitation and adapted sports practice are complementary \u2014 one works on the basics, the other applies them in a playful and social context.<\/p><\/div> <\/div> <div class=\"faq-item\"> <div class=\"faq-q\"><span>COCO MOVES is it suitable for dyspraxic children?<\/span><span class=\"faq-icon\">+<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-a\"><p>COCO MOVES was designed with DYS and dyspraxic profiles in mind. Physical exercises are offered with clear instructions, an adaptable pace, and progressive levels. The interface is streamlined to reduce cognitive overload. The sports breaks every 15 minutes of screen time precisely meet the regular movement needs of dyspraxic children, while preventing fatigue related to prolonged screen time. COCO can be used independently by the child or guided by an adult.<\/p><\/div> <\/div><\/div><p>In conclusion, dyspraxia can present challenges in sports practice \u2014 but this absolutely does not mean that individuals with this disorder cannot enjoy the benefits of physical activity. By choosing sports suited to their abilities, benefiting from informed and caring guidance, using specific strategies of breakdown and repetition, and building a regular and secure routine \u2014 dyspraxic individuals can not only engage in sports but also gain considerable benefits for their coordination, self-confidence, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life.<\/p><p>The journey may be longer and more demanding than for a person without coordination disorders \u2014 but every progress, no matter how small, represents a remarkable effort and deserves to be celebrated. Dyspraxic individuals who persevere in their sports practice develop not only motor skills but also resilience and the ability to overcome obstacles that serve them in all areas of their lives. Adapted sports, with the right tools and the right support, is one of the greatest opportunities that can be offered to a dyspraxic person.<\/p><div class=\"cta-box\"> <h3>\ud83c\udfc3 Support your dyspraxic children with COCO MOVES<\/h3> <p>Adapted DYS physical exercises \u00b7 Clear instructions \u00b7 Integrated sports break \u00b7 Progressive levels \u00b7 7 days free trial.<\/p> <div class=\"cta-buttons\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/en\/brain-games-apps\/coco-educational-games\/\" class=\"btn-white\">\ud83c\udfae Discover COCO \u2192<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dynseo.com\/accompagner-les-enfants-dys\/\" class=\"btn-outline\">DYS Guide \u2192<\/a> <\/div><\/div><p>Dyspraxia does not define a person \u2014 it characterizes a different way of processing and executing movements.
