Is there a such thing as an online dyspraxia test?
There is no simple “dyspraxia test” to diagnose a child’s motor skills symptoms. It’s important to get a very detailed, whole view of each child’s symptoms and struggles.
The first place to go is your paediatrician or GP. They’ll evaluate his general motor planning abilities. And, if they see any signs, they’ll refer to a team of other experts. Together, a physiotherapist, occupational therapist, and speech and language therapist will assess your child.
We use CoordiKids’ virtual programs and TeleHealth to work with families, collaborating with care teams – we are competent to assess virtually.
This has come quite in handy for families in remote parts of the world, and now with quarantine procedures as well.

1. Choose a Course Theme
Our Home Courses are broken into themed courses based on a child’s individual needs: Sensory Motor Skills, Dyspraxia, Balance & Posture, Focus & Attention, and more.
If you are unsure which course is right for you, use our questionnaire here or schedule a free consultation with Marga Grey, MScOT.
2. Follow the Exercise Videos
For 15 minutes a day, your child follows along with our therapeutic exercises, adapted for use at home and packaged into fun & easy-to-follow, instructional videos.
Home courses are developed by paediatric occupational therapists using progressive exercises that build on developmental phases from week to week.
3. Track Progress & Share with Teams
Our Home Courses are supported by a FREE Motion Caption Technology which provides Measurable Data to track your child’s progress.
This data is cloud-based, allowing you to share simultaneously with your child’s paediatrician, occupational therapist, speech therapist, teachers, and any member of your support team.
The CoordiKids videos have helped my daughter with sensory issues tremendously. Her teacher let us know after 2 weeks that she was performing much better.
She surprises even herself with some of the things she can do. I couldn’t recommend these courses more!

We are completely blown away with the results of the Coordikids courses.
Never in my wildest dreams did I think that we would see the results that we have so far.
