Dyspraxic Characters in Film and Television

[LGC2108]

Does anyone know of any characters in films and television programmes with dyspraxia?

[Jim]

Do you mean the character written as a dyspraxic or the actual actor playing the part.

I know of a handful of dyspraxic actors, but no fictional characters.

Tree fun tom is a childrens programme on c/beebies although its more for children if you go on c,beebies web site you can get lots of info on how movement and balance can affect you and how they are going about it now with children ,there was nothing like that when we were growing up, and watch some short videos of the exercise they get the children to do and see how they transfer the same movement to tree fu tom .It has lots of other info as well,worth having a look although they seem more concerned with children than adults but I suppose the same principle works for both.

This looks really interesting, it's a shame there wasn't a programme like this when we were growing up.

There are certainly a few clumsy characters about on TV. Whether any are intended to be dyspraxic I'm not so sure of.

maybe Homer Simpson,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homer_Simpson

Homer embodies several American working class stereotypes: he is crude, overweight, incompetent, clumsy, lazy, a heavy drinker, and ignorant; however, he is essentially a decent man and fiercely devoted to his family. Despite the suburban blue-collar routine of his life, he has had a number of remarkable experiences.
