Concentrating harder does not solve coordination
With dyspraxia, a task can remain awkward even when you remember every step. ADHD may add distraction, rushing or starting before you have what you need.
For a familiar kitchen task, clear enough space and lay out what you need before starting. Ask for a demonstration of a difficult movement rather than another long verbal description.
Keep the sequence available
Remembering instructions while learning a movement can be demanding. Break the activity into steps and keep the current step visible rather than memorising the whole sequence.
If interrupted, mark where you stopped. That reduces the extra job of reconstructing what you were doing.
Show the difficulty using a real task
Explain whether you forget the step, cannot carry out the movement comfortably, or lose track when steps are combined. An occupational therapist can help identify equipment or methods for everyday tasks.
At work or in education, ask to try a demonstration, adjusted equipment or a clearer task sequence. If ADHD treatment improves attention but coordination remains difficult, that still deserves support.
