About the video library
This video library contains movement demonstrations for various different everyday movement skills that dyspraxic children want to learn.
All the demonstrations are performed by typically developing children and are recorded from a first-person viewpoint. This means that the movements and viewpoints in the videos closely match what children see when doing these movements for themselves. There are also left- and right-handed versions of each video to allow dyspraxic children to match each video to their handedness.
How to use the video library
The video library was created to help dyspraxic children learn everyday movement skills, but it is free to use for anyone who might find the videos helpful.
To use the library, search the thumbnail images above to see the different movement skills videos available. Click the image to access the videos, then select either the right-handed or left-handed option.
When the videos play, watch the movements carefully and pay attention to how the person in the video moves. Then have a go at practicing the skill yourself, trying to copy the movement shown in the video. You can re-watch the videos and practice the skills as often as you need.
As well as watching the movements, you might find it helpful to imagine that you are the person in the video and to imagine the feeling of doing each movement as you watch it. We also encourage you to hold the objects shown in the videos as you watch them where possible.
