ABOUT US
This parent-initiated, voluntary support group was formed in June 1992.
Over the past 30 years we have evolved into an organisation that provides support and information to anyone affected by dyspraxia/DCD.
Dyspraxia Support Group of New Zealand

Our membership now numbers over 1,000, and includes families, caregivers, and professionals from both New Zealand, Australia, with some members also in other countries.
We aim to help children with Developmental Dyspraxia to learn, to achieve their potential and ultimately to lead a happy, satisfying adult life by:
Supporting each other, sharing concerns and solutions with other parents, caregivers and professionals with similar problems.
Informing ourselves and sharing information, thus increasing our own understanding of the disorder.
Building and using a store of resources and information.
Publishing a newsletter, ‘Connections’, once a term.
Increasing general awareness and understanding of Dyspraxia

Our store of resources available to members includes books, tapes, videos, and articles. We publish a newsletter, ‘Connections’, once a term as a forum for parents and therapists, and as a means of sharing information.
In the Canterbury area we also run the Funlink Therapeutic Playgroup for primary aged children with Dyspraxia and their parents and the Funteen Group for teenagers.
