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