Abstrakt/ Abstract: The paper examines the limitations in mathematical abilities of a student with dyspraxia. Dyspraxia, as a developmental coordination disorder, significantly affects fine motor skills, spatial orientation, and the organization of activities, which are essential for learning mathematics. A student with dyspraxia experiences difficulties with written calculations, aligning digits, and understanding geometric concepts. Problems with sequencing and working memory negatively affect problem-solving and the application of learned procedures. Despite these limitations, a student with dyspraxia demonstrates potential in verbal reasoning and conceptual understanding when provided with appropriate pedagogical support.
