"Between 5 percent and 10 percent of the population have some symptoms of dyspraxia. It is probable that people who have dyspraxia work for your organisation. Adults with dyspraxia are often determined, hard working and highly motivated they develop their own strategies for working effectively. In many ways, people who have dyspraxia are similar to those who have dyslexia: they are often creative and original thinkers as well as strategic problem solvers." - source: The Dyspraxia Foundation (UK)
