Dyspraxia is a workplace issue.
Around 5% of the population are estimated to have dyspraxic traits. This suggests that 1.6 million workers (and 31,000 GMB members) may be dyspraxic.
Too many of those workers face needless barriers within the workplace. Some are held back by crude stereotypes and a general lack of awareness.
People who are dyspraxic can also bring significant benefits to their workplaces. Dyspraxic workers are often hardworking, creative, and strong lateral thinkers. Most dyspraxic workers will have had to overcome significant challenges to be in the position they are now in.
