Make the movement and the steps easier
Coordination and remembering are different
Dyspraxia affects movement and coordination. It does not mean you lack intelligence.
ADHD can add rushing, forgetting instructions or losing your place. You may need help with both parts of a task.
Ask to see one step
If instructions are hard to follow, ask someone to show you one step. Try it before moving on.
Keep a short picture or written reminder of the order beside the task.
Change what makes the task awkward
For dressing, put your clothes within reach, in the order you will put them on. If fiddly fastenings are the problem, easier fastenings may help more than another reminder.
If everyday movements remain difficult, speak to your GP about support, which may include occupational therapy.
