Is it clumsiness — or is it dyspraxia?

In this episode of Brain Trash, Maria Ingalla and Tabitha Arey break down what developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) actually looks like — and why so many neurodivergent people are going undiagnosed.

We talk about: 

• Why dyspraxia is way more than just being “bad at sports”
• What dyspraxia means for motor skills, daily living, and mental health
• The real impact on kids and adults navigating a world not built for their brains
• The role of therapy, medication, and practical support
• Teaching strategies that actually work
• And why neurodivergence deserves more understanding — not more shame.

If you've ever been called “lazy” or “uncoordinated” when your brain just works differently — this episode is for you.
