The Dyspraxia Foundation, based in Hitchin, was originally founded in 1987 by two mothers whose children had been diagnosed with the condition. At the time, there were no facilities or support systems available, so they took it upon themselves to create one. First established as The Dyspraxia Trust, it was renamed the Dyspraxia Foundation in 1996. Today, the charity responds to over 10,000 enquiries annually and distributes more than 20,000 leaflets to raise awareness and offer support.
