Expressing support for the designation of October 9 through October 16, 2025, as "National Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Awareness Week" and a commitment to raise awareness of dyspraxia/DCD in the United States.
HRES 796 is a non-binding resolution designating October 9-16, 2025, as "National Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Awareness Week" in the U.S. It directly affects the estimated 20 million Americans (5-6% of the population) living with dyspraxia/DCD, a motor skills disorder often underdiagnosed and underserved in low-income and minority communities. The resolution expresses congressional support for raising public awareness, improving access to diagnosis and treatment services, and encouraging state/local efforts to address challenges like social isolation and academic/workplace barriers linked to DCD. It does not create new funding or policy changes but aims to highlight the need for better education and resources.
