The Understanding Praxis guide explains the developmental components of motor planning and execution, offering a relationship-based lens to assess and support children with praxis challenges. Grounded in DIR/Floortime principles, it connects sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive function, and ideation to functional movement and participation.
