How many people have Dyspraxia?

Its believed approximately 10-20% of the population has it, or 1 in 5 students, it does not discriminate its found in all languages, cultures and ethnic backgrounds.

I am not sure you will get an actual number of how many have it though, because a lot of people with dyslexia may not actually know they have it. Because it affects everyone a little differently, despite having very similar signs & symptoms, and some may only be mildly affected and others severely.

Teachers need to be taught exactly what dyslexia is, the signs & symptoms, and how they can best support the dyslexic student. This is how I managed to get all the way through school with out it ever being picked up.

I did not learn I had dyslexia until I was 30, my siblings who are all older than me, did not know they have dyslexia until I found out. My mother died never knowing why she was illiterate, but she had all the signs & symptoms. My daughter has dyslexia and so does her fiance, his brother and nieces & nephew.

Edit; Apologies I miss read your question, dyslexia and fatigue don't mix.

Depending on which website you go to, its estimated that between 5-10% of the population have dyspraxia, 2% are severely affected. Some people may never actually know why they are clumsy & accident prone, uncoordinated etc, because its not well known or understood.

Dyspraxia causes problems movement & coordination, and can also cause problems language skills. Children with dyspraxia may take longer to sit, crawl, walk & run etc (gross motor skills) and difficulty with tying shoes laces, using cutlery, writing including difficulty hold pencils, pens & crayons etc (fine motor skills). All of which can make the child to appear to be uncoordinated, clumsy, accident prone and or have a odd gait (walk).

Dyslexia can have comorbid conditions, in particularly dyspraxia, ADHD or ADD and learning disorders.

We think my daughter has dyspraxia, as she has always been very clumsy, accident prone, incredibly uncoordinated, she is 26 and cannot wear heels of any sort, as she can't walk in them without falling over.

I have no idea of the percentage but l do know of a famous inventor, painter and sculptor known all over the world who accomplished all those things while having dyspraxia. Leonardo Di Venice

well i am a robert also and i am dyslexic with spelling it is just one of natures little jokes sometimes words just don't come naturally they seem to stick half way.

i would put the figure near to 25% especially with english. even native born english in Berkshire.

see i did it again with berkshire lived there for 50 years.

so how many suffer with dyspraxia is any ones guess.

I'm Dyslexic which is a very similar one I think its between 5-10%
