DISCLAIMERS: There is the occasional part of this webinar where the video of Nat lags or freezes a bit. This is because the internet connection of April's, who edited this webinar, was rather poor when it was live.

April was also the only one who had a copy of the webinar recording because it didn't record on Nat's end for some reason.

Most of the part that discusses if clumsy people should always be portrayed as dyspraxic in the media has been removed because the video of Nat froze a lot on April's end during these parts.

The parts about Tonks from Harry Potter and Daniel Radcliffe have been removed because the video of Nat froze the most on April's end during these parts when the webinar was live.

Learn how Dyspraxia has been portrayed in film, TV, print and more!
