Can occupational therapists diagnose dyspraxia

Occupational therapists (OTs) do not diagnose dyspraxia, but they can assess and identify difficulties related to the condition. They often focus on functional performance and may use standardized assessments to evaluate motor skills and coordination. If a diagnosis is needed, OTs typically collaborate with other professionals, such as pediatricians or psychologists, who can formally diagnose dyspraxia. Ultimately, OTs play a key role in developing intervention strategies to support individuals with dyspraxia.
