I am an industrial designer to be, and working with people who have dyspraxia. There is a small questionnaire that can be answered by people here, and it will help me better understand their situation, and make a good solution possible as a result. Here you go with the questions

Hi Aisha

We ask that anyone seeking to conduct research first seeks advance agreement and can offer/provide detailed assurances about how any personal and/or medical information collected will be used handled stored and protected.

Whilst there are common/typical difficulties there is a significant degree of variation in how Dyspraxia presents and the degree to which an individual is affected and/or the coping strategies he or she might employ.

Please could you send me a private message in this regard.

I did feel more comfortable doing a Likert scale online survey.
