Adult Dyspraxia (DCD) Self-Test
Dyspraxia — developmental coordination disorder (DCD) — affects movement, coordination, organisation and planning, and often sits alongside ADHD and autism. This free, private self-report helps you see whether adult dyspraxia traits fit your experience. About two minutes, all on your device.
For each statement, choose how often it’s true for you.

About this screen
A structured self-report based on how adult dyspraxia (developmental coordination disorder) is described in the literature. A reflective screen, not a diagnostic instrument.
Frequently asked questions
What is dyspraxia?
Dyspraxia, or developmental coordination disorder (DCD), affects physical coordination, balance, fine-motor skills, organisation and planning. It’s a lifelong neurodevelopmental difference, not related to intelligence, and frequently co-occurs with ADHD and autism.
Can this test diagnose dyspraxia?
No. It’s a screening tool. A formal diagnosis usually involves an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or other specialist, often via a GP referral. A high score is a reason to seek that, not a diagnosis itself.
Does dyspraxia go with ADHD or autism?
Often, yes — these neurodivergent conditions frequently overlap. If dyspraxia traits resonate, it can be worth screening for ADHD and autism too.
