Dyspraxia Awareness Week 2026

When is Dyspraxia Awareness Week?

The verified dates for this edition are 12–18 October 2026. This week should not be described as always occurring in the first full week of October. Dates for a subsequent edition need a fresh organiser announcement.

Practical ideas for awareness activities

• Use the current materials. Start with the organiser’s posters and distinguish its stated campaign from your own event.
• Offer different ways to participate. Explain activities in advance, provide clear instructions and allow people to ask for adjustments privately.
• Listen without stereotypes. Make room for different experiences rather than assuming that everyone has the same coordination, learning or support needs.
• Review ordinary barriers. Ask participants about classroom, workplace or community processes that could be made easier to access.

For schools, workplaces and families

A helpful awareness session explains where its information comes from, gives people time to ask questions and identifies a route to individual support. Obtain permission before sharing a person’s story, and avoid using a campaign activity to diagnose someone or compare people’s abilities.

For further background, use the organiser’s campaign page and its linked community resources. This calendar entry does not assess an individual’s symptoms or prescribe treatment.
