Dyspraxia (Developmental Coordination Disorder) in Children and Adults
We work with children and adults with dyspraxia (also called Developmental Coordination Disorder, or DCD) by looking at the underlying neurodevelopmental and sensory factors that affect coordination, motor planning and daily living. Our biology-led programs complement occupational therapy and physiotherapy and can help create the conditions in which other interventions are more likely to take hold.

NeuroMature for dyspraxia
Dyspraxia is, at its core, a difficulty planning and coordinating everyday movement. When primitive reflexes from infancy stay active beyond their natural window, coordinated movement takes more effort than it should, affecting balance, eye-tracking, fine motor control and the body’s sense of where it is in space. Decades of neurodevelopmental research link these retained reflexes to exactly these difficulties.
NeuroMature integrates them through short daily movement exercises, built on a decade of clinical work. Solid foundations here make every other kind of support work better.
Follow it yourself at home with The Key Clinic, with clear, structured video guidance every step of the way, and the option to add one-off coached sessions if you’d like extra support.
Clients report better eye-tracking, balance, coordination and confidence. Where reflexes integrate well, repeat programs are rarely needed.
If you or your child is under medical treatment, don’t stop or change it without consulting your doctor. NeuroMature complements medical care; it doesn’t replace it.

BrightBeatz for dyspraxia
The ears do two jobs: hearing and balance. Because the same system underpins both, supporting how the ears process sound can also support coordination and spatial awareness , the areas dyspraxia affects most.
BrightBeatz™ is The Key Clinic’s at-home listening programme. It uses specially modulated music to stimulate the ears and encourage more balanced listening. The programme runs over 10 days, with two 30-minute sessions a day at home. Some parents report seeing improvements in the weeks and months following the course.
Testimonial, 15 year old Boy:
The areas of concern expressed by parents were as follows:
Highly dyspraxic
Being bullied
Struggled with sports and coordination
Following NeuroMature and BrightBeatz Programs:
Balance and coordination improved
No longer bullied at school
No longer last’ in school races, but somewhere in the middle!

NeuroMature
We feel he has benefitted emotionally and physically. In addition, his ophthalmologist has proved that his processing speed has increased. We are hugely grateful.
NeuroMature
George's dyspraxia assessment placed him in the 1st percentile for motor coordination. Within 2 weeks of commencing the neurodevelopment programme George stopped bumping into things. The improvement in his coordination has been remarkable.
NeuroMature
Now in my 40s, I never understood why certain things were quite difficult, particularly in relation to coordination. I lead a pretty normal life and had accepted it. The programme finally gave me answers and genuine improvement.

We were at a loss as to how we could help our daughter. When I first heard about the Key Clinic on the Chris Evans show, I immediately identified with what he was talking about. At each stage I have felt fully supported.

Difficulty writing, drawing and using scissors
Problems getting dressed, doing up buttons and tying shoelaces
Organisation/Communicating
Often diagnosed late, if at all
