For those who haven't noticed yet, I added a few links to websites and articles on Developmental Dyspraxia and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Both are nearly synonymous terms for the disorder that Ella appears to have. Dyspraxia is primarily a term used in the UK, and DCD in America, but there is some crossover.
As for the links, In general, I'd say:
If you want an easy to understand overview, read the NCLD article. For the most part it's very down to earth and practical.
If you want a bit more detailed and technical approach, read the wikipedia article.
If you're a medical professional, or want a lengthy discussion, you might find the DCD primer useful. It's primarily targeted at educating pediatricians, and is 5 1/2 pages of useful text. This article is a little on the older side, 1996, but it's still quite good information.
