With the majority of American teachers and HCPs unaware of the signs, symptoms, psychological and secondary impacts of the condition, those living with Dyspraxia/DCD are left undiagnosed, misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and unsupported. Early diagnosis and support at home, school, and work can make a vital difference in quality of life.
In pursuit of our Vision to empower those with Dyspraxia/DCD to live life to their fullest potential, it is essential that we achieve our goal of raising awareness in the United States.
- Spread awareness of Dyspraxia/DCD using marketing and communications
- Provide educational opportunities and resources
- Establish social media presence
- Advocate for public policy changes recognizing Dyspraxia/DCD
- Strengthen diversity, equity, and inclusion by raising awareness in the general public and consequently reducing stigma associated with Dyspraxia/DCD-related symptoms
- Bring awareness about Dyspraxia/DCD to the business community so that it is included in diversity, equity, and inclusion in recruiting strategies.
