Verbal Dyspraxia: Do I Have DCD? | #neurodiversity

"Do I have verbal #Dyspraxia..? [Interactive Webinar]" is an educational and engaging webinar hosted by Exceptional Individuals and delivered by Nat Hawley. The webinar is designed to help participants understand if they exhibit traits of verbal dyspraxia, a prevalent but often misunderstood learning difference.

During the webinar, participants will learn about the signs and symptoms of verbal dyspraxia and how it affects communication skills. The webinar emphasises that many adults with undiagnosed dyspraxia do not realize that their educational and work challenges stem from a learning difference beyond their control. Participants will learn about oromotor dyspraxia, also called verbal apraxia or apraxia of speech, which can make coordinating muscle movements needed to pronounce words challenging.

The interactive webinar allows participants to ask questions and engage in discussions with other attendees. However, it is important to note that the webinar is not meant to diagnose dyspraxia; rather, it serves as a starting point for a conversation with a qualified professional. The webinar emphasizes the importance of seeking a diagnosis from a trained doctor or specialist, who uses various inspection tools to diagnose dyspraxia.

Overall, "Do I have verbal Dyspraxia..? [Interactive Webinar]" is an excellent resource for anyone who suspects they may have dyspraxia or for those who want to better understand this condition. Participants will leave the webinar with a better understanding of dyspraxia and the steps to seek a diagnosis and support.

The sound editing and lack of quality for this video so often makes it sound like you’re speaking over a poor cellphone connection that has a lot of network dropouts. I can’t listen to this all the way through, the effort to make sense of it is too great.
