Dyspraxia support tools for education and work

Dyspraxia, also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), affects more than physical coordination. It can impact planning, organization, time management, and writing.

Our dyspraxia support tools and accommodations are designed to remove those barriers, so students and employees can focus on what they are truly capable of.

Dyspraxia support for students and children

For students with dyspraxia, everyday tasks like handwriting, copying, following instructions, and organising work can be challenging. Each demands coordination and sequencing which can be exhausting before learning even begins.

Our education software helps reduce that effort, giving students a way to work that suits them.

Dyspraxia support for adults in the workplace

Dyspraxia doesn’t stop at school. In the workplace, differences in planning, organization, written communication, and processing speed can show up in new ways.

Balancing work can become more challenging when systems aren't designed to support all thinkers. Our workplace solutions help reduce these barriers.

Everway for Work

Everway for Work combines Read&Write, MindView and Tasks into a single workplace solution that supports the full range of challenges dyspraxia can present in professional settings.

Read&Write for Work

Supports everyday reading and writing tasks. Text-to-Speech makes it easier to understand dense documents and emails, while writing tools help with spelling and proofreading to communicate clearly.

MindView

Supports planning and organization in a more intuitive way. Visual mapping helps turn ideas and complex projects into something clearer, making it easier to prioritize and take action.

Tasks

Brings structure to day-to-day planning. It brings reminders, to-do lists, and priorities into one place, helping employees stay focused on what needs attention next.

Why dyspraxia accommodations matter

Dyspraxia is not a barrier to capability. The challenges people face are often created by environments that are not designed with them in mind.

The right support tools help remove that friction. With the right accommodations, students and employees can better show what they are capable of.

Neuroinclusion means designing environments that support different ways of working from the start, not as an afterthought. That is the principle behind everything we build.

Dyspraxia support FAQs

Dyspraxia, clinically referred to as Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects motor coordination, planning, sequencing and processing speed.

In practical terms, this means tasks that involve multiple steps, fine motor precision or rapid organization can require significantly more effort than they might for others. In education, that often shows up in handwriting, copying and following instructions. In the workplace, it can affect written communication, time management and managing competing demands.

Dyspraxia is lifelong, though how much it affects someone day-to-day depends significantly on the level of support and accommodation available to them.

Dyspraxia support tools for students include text-to-speech software that reduces the reading and writing load, word prediction tools that support written expression without requiring fine motor precision, digital annotation tools that replace handwriting with accessible alternatives, and classroom management tools that provide predictable structure and clear sequencing.

Read&Write, OrbitNote, Equatio each address different aspects of the learning experience, and together they cover the range of challenges students with dyspraxia commonly encounter across subjects.

Useful workplace dyspraxia accommodations include reading and writing support tools, visual planning software that supports non-linear thinking, task management systems that reduce the burden on working memory, and text-to-speech for processing written information efficiently.

Everway for Work addresses these needs through Read&Write, MindView and Tasks. These tools work alongside one another to support the day-to-day demands of professional life.

The terms are widely used interchangeably. DCD is the current clinical term used in formal diagnosis, while dyspraxia remains the term more commonly used in everyday conversation and by many people describing their own experience. Both refer to a condition affecting coordination, planning and sequencing. On this page we use both terms to reflect how people search for and talk about support.

Yes. Dyspraxia is a lifelong condition, and many of the challenges it presents in education, with written communication, organization and processing, continue into adulthood in different forms. Our dyspraxia software is built to support people in both education and workplace contexts, with Everway for Work specifically designed around the demands professionals encounter day-to-day.

Accommodations change how someone accesses a task or demonstrates their knowledge - not the standard expected of them. Dyspraxia support tools like Read&Write and OrbitNote are accommodations: they provide alternative ways of reading, writing and organising that reduce unnecessary friction, while keeping the same expectations in place. Modifications, by contrast, change the task or lower the bar. Our tools are built around the former.

Yes. Our products integrate with the platforms most commonly used in education and work, including Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, web browsers, learning management systems such as Canvas and Schoology, and communication tools like Microsoft Teams. They work across Windows, Mac, Chromebook, iOS and Android.
