'''Motor skills disorder''' (also known as '''motor coordination disorder''' or '''motor dyspraxia''') is a human [[developmental disorder]] and is [[neurological]] in origin. Many children with [[autism]] or [[Asperger syndrome]] experience defecitsdeficits in motor skills development, which often manifests as abnormal clumsiness, but is not major enough to be cosidered a disorder in and of itself.

The disorder has its basis in the [[brain]], a network of [[neural]] connections that allow humans to process the information received. Motor Dyspraxia is a result of weak or disorganised connections in the brain, which then translates to trouble with [[motor coordination]]. Movements are performed because the brain sends messages to the area requiring action. The dyspraxia is a result of weak or poorly structured [[neural pathway]]s to the moving parts of the body.
