Expressing support for the designation of October 9 through October 16, 2024, as "National Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Awareness Week" and a commitment to raise awareness of dyspraxia/DCD in the United States.

HRES 1356 is a symbolic resolution designating October 9-16, 2024, as "National Dyspraxia/Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Awareness Week" in the U.S. It expresses the House’s support for raising public awareness about dyspraxia/DCD, a condition affecting motor skills (like coordination and balance) that impacts roughly 5-6% of Americans (about 20 million people). The resolution emphasizes the need to improve diagnosis, treatment access, and understanding of dyspraxia/DCD, which is often underdiagnosed and linked to challenges in school, work, and mental health. It does not create new laws or funding but encourages federal, state, and local efforts to support those affected.
