We are working with colleagues at Brunel University of London on a project called "Virtually Fall Free", which explores whether fun virtual reality (VR) balance training can help improve balance skills in children with DCD / Dyspraxia.

Children (aged 7-16) who take part will visit the Movement & Cognition Lab at Brunel 3 times across 10 weeks to test their balance. Children will also get to try VR balance training at home, either between lab visits, or after the final lab visit.

If your child has DCD / Dyspraxia, or you suspect they might have DCD / Dyspraxia, and you’d like to learn more, we’d be really happy to hear from you!
