What if being called "clumsy" all your life was never about carelessness—but something far deeper that’s rarely talked about?
In this powerful episode, inspired by a moving post from Dr Martin Bloomfield, we explore Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), also known as Dyspraxia—a form of neurodivergence as common as ADHD, yet still largely overlooked.
Dr Bloomfield shares his personal story—of stumbling on stairs, cracking teeth on cutlery, and taking years to pronounce certain sounds—highlighting everyday challenges many people experience but struggle to explain.
We dive into:
Why DCD is still under-recognised despite affecting millions
How it impacts coordination, speech, learning, confidence and daily life
The emotional toll on individuals and families
What schools, workplaces, and communities can do to offer better support
The urgent need for early awareness and understanding
Whether you’re learning about DCD for the first time or want to deepen your awareness, this episode opens the door to empathy, insight, and change.
👉 Listen now and help bring Dyspraxia into the spotlight.
