Support for children and young people with dyspraxia starts with inclusive, whole-school practice underpinned by Curriculum for Wales and enabling learning principles and guidance. Schools are expected to identify barriers early and put in place the support generally available to all learners through high-quality teaching, person-centred approaches and reasonable adjustments where needed. The Specific learning difficulties framework provides information to help school leaders and practitioners to understand the difficulties that learners face in order to make appropriate adjustments to teaching practice and to the school and classroom environments. For example, dyspraxia that can affect fine motor, gross motor coordination and balance skills.

Where learners need more support, the Additional Learnings Needs (ALN) system provides a route to additional provision where it is required. Identifying ALN and the support needed is based on the individual learner’s needs and the impact on their learning. The aim is to identify and remove barriers early to help all learners achieve their potential.
