Abstract
The area of dyspraxia received a little attention as compared to other learning disabilities.
Therefore, the main aim of this study was to explore the level of awareness and understanding of
teachers regarding the indications of dyspraxia, to assess teachers’ perceptions and ability to
identify and manage the students with dyspraxia in their classroom. This study makes a
contribution in revealing the awareness of teachers’ regarding the symptoms of dyspraxia and
impact of dyspraxia on social, emotional and physical health of a child. A descriptive research
design was adopted to study the perceptions of elementary school teachers regarding dyspraxia at
secondary level that attempted to determine and report things the way they were. Data was
collected through questionnaire. The results showed that teachers had enough knowledge and
awareness about the impact of dyspraxia on the social, physical and emotional health of the child,
and believed they had the ability to identify and manage the students with dyspraxia in their
classroom.
