Answer 1

This answer is taken from the website I reference below:

What is dyspraxia?

Dyspraxia is a term that refers to a specific disorder in the area of motor skill development. People with dyspraxia have difficulty planning and completing intended fine motor tasks. It is estimated that as many as 6% of all children show some signs of dyspraxia, and in the general population, about 70% of those affected by dyspraxia are male.

Dyspraxia can affect different areas of functioning, varying from simple motor tasks such as waving goodbye to more complex tasks like brushing teeth.

What are the effects of dyspraxia?

Dyspraxia is a lifelong disorder that affects a person's development in the area of motor development. Though many challenges can persist throughout a person's life, the types of difficulties experienced can change.

Young Children

Babies with dyspraxia may avoid crawling and rolling over, and may resist tasks involving motor skills. As they get older these children are prone to:

    *

      Difficulty with eye movements - they may move the whole head instead of just the eyes

    *

      Difficulty using eating utensils and holding a cup while drinking

    *

      Difficulty walking, hopping, skipping, throwing and catching a ball, riding a bike

    *

      Delay in using spoken language and speech that is difficult to understand

    *

      Bumping into objects

    *

      Late establishment of laterality (right- or left-handedness)

    *

      Difficulty doing fine-motor activities such as tying shoelaces or buttoning clothing

    *

      Difficulty with handwriting

    *

      Sensitivity to touch - may find clothing uncomfortable; and may find hair-brushing and cutting, teeth-brushing and nail-cutting unpleasant

    *

      Poor sense of direction

Answer 2

Dysbraxia is similar to dyslexia but can also involve numbers.

People suffering from Dyspyraxia often are left handed and start writing on the left hand of the page (experience with younger sibling).

I guess your best bet is to ask Wikipedia, or google "dysbraxia" as they have internet pages and logs you could be interested in.
