Abstract

This study utilizes arts-based narrative inquiry to explore the lived social and educational experiences of (1) parents with children, ages 7-17, that have been diagnosed with dyspraxia/DCD and (2) adults, individuals 18 and older, living with dyspraxia - focusing on their experiences within larger social, cultural, and ableist conditions, including what they describe about schools and learning environments. Research exploring the lived experience of those who live with dyspraxia continues to be profoundly limited and greatly needed to understand how people with dyspraxia are shaped by, and shape, cultural and social understanding of neurodiversity and dis/ability.
