In this video, Dr. Dana Johnson, PhD, explains Whole Body Apraxia—a brain-body disconnect that affects how kids with autism move, respond, and interact with the world.
Does your child struggle to follow directions, stay regulated, or complete simple tasks like getting dressed or getting in the car? You might be told it’s just behavior—or just autism—but what if it’s actually something deeper?
Most parents and professionals have never heard of Whole Body Apraxia, but it might be the missing piece behind your child’s challenges.
Whole body apraxia isn’t about laziness, defiance, or low motivation. It’s a sensory-motor disconnect between the brain and the body. And without the right support, these children are often misunderstood, mislabeled, and underserved.
If you think your child may struggle with whole body apraxia, this video is for you. For in-person help and for Autism or Apraxia Therapy, please visit Spellers Atlanta for more information.
