I wonder if Dyspraxia can be helped by learning disorder teachers.

It's possible that lots of improvements can potentially be made, by having great (specialized) teachers.

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to teach my son how to tie his shoes. He has autism. He never learned how to do it, no matter which method I used. I am going to tell him about Dyspraxia, so he quits blaming me for this. I just texted him about this. Thank you! It turns out not being able to tie shoes is not uncommon with people who have autism.

It wouldn't be considered a cure, but lots of improvements can potentially be made, by having great (specialized) teachers.

Yes I realize that--I used the incorrect term--have made an edit.
