Dyspraxia Me Collaborative Zine

Dyspraxic Me is a peer group for young dyspraxic adults.

We usually meet monthly in London and take part in a wide range of activities that dyspraxic people might find more challenging such as cooking, sports and social skills to develop and try out new skills in a safe environment.

Dyspraxic Me started in June 2013 and has been delivering workshops since February 2014.

Dyspraxic Me is a volunteer run registered charity 1175961 This zine was created as part of Dyspraxia Awareness Week 4th-10th October 2020.

Concentration with Dyspraxia One area that I find challenging with Dyspraxia is concentration, one minute I can be focused on the task at hand, and the next minute I drift off and think about something else…   sorry, don’t know what happened there! For some Dyspraxics, concentration issues can impact the length of the texts they can read.
