Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2020 – Case Studies
We are looking to gather case studies for Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2020. As you may be aware we run a cyclical programme for Dyspraxia Awareness Week, with a focus each year on different age groups. This year, however, we’ve chosen to encompass an intergenerational theme around Wellbeing. COVID-19 has changed the way we live and the overarching theme from people who have contacted us via our Helpline email service is how to cope with change whether that be for themselves or supporting people with Dyspraxia during this
difficult time.
