Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a heterogeneous disorder and each child may exhibit different features. Children with DCD have motor coordination impairments and their motor abilities, which are substantially below their age and intelligence levels, impact on their activities at home and/or at school. The motor impairments are not due to any medical or neurological disorder. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the prevalence of DCD in many countries but not all of them comply with the DSM-IV criteria, resulting in different prevalence estimates. Researchers that have stringently applied the four criteria of the DSM-IV when making a diagnosis have found the prevalence to be 1.8% of seven year old children (N = 6990). A further factor that appears to influence prevalence is culture, and no studies to date have investigated DCD in Kuwait. DCD is not well identified in Kuwait and children with DCD may be underdiagnosed and/or misdiagnosed with other developmental disorders such as Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, and Learning Disorder. Another reason may be the different labelling that has been given to DCD. In Kuwait, the term "sensory integration disorder" is more common than DCD. The overlapping and interchangeable use of terms causes disagreement in research and clinical practice in assessing and treating children with motor coordination difficulties. This thesis investigates the prevalence of DCD in a representative sample of Kuwaiti children. A secondary aim was to ascertain the knowledge of health and educational professionals. Study one investigated the prevalence of DCD in primary school-aged children (5-9 year old) in the State of Kuwait based on the DSM-IV criteria. The Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2 nd Edition (MABC-2) was administered to 297 Kuwaiti 5-9 year old children (147 boys and 150 girls) who were recruited from public and private primary mainstream schools in urban and rural areas. This was used to assess DCD Criterion A. Criterion B was assessed using the DCD Questionnaire-New Edition (DCDQ'07) which was completed by the children's parents. In order to achieve this aim, the validity of the MABC-2 and DCDQ'07 LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS Abbreviation Meaning AB1 Age Band one AB2 Age band two ABD xvii 7.3.5 Comparison between Kuwait and UK at 5 th and 15 th Percentiles .

Aim: Parental screening of children's motor skills can be helpful for early identification of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The present study examined the associations between the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire-Brazilian version (DCDQ-BR) and motor competence in school-age children. Methods: 707 children (332 boys, 375 girls) aged between 6-to 10-years and one of their parents participated in the study. Parents completed the DCDQ-BR and children's motor competence was determined using the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2nd edition (BOT-2). Results: The agreement between the BOT-2 and DCDQ-BR results was comparable across age, ranging from 74-84 percent. In general, there were low-to moderate correlations between all aspects of the parent report and children's motor competence. Sensitivity and specificity of the DCDQ-BR were 70% and 81%, respectively. Overall, boys had higher motor competence than girls, but parent reports were similar for gender. Conclusions: Parental assessment of their child's motor ability is moderately associated with motor competence, and this association is similar for boys and girls, even though boys scored higher in motor competence. Our findings suggest that it may be possible to reduce the length of clinical assessment by only testing children that flag as suspect for DCD in the DCDQ-BR.

A Child with developmental coordination disorder will have a higher incidence of movement difficulties and challenges to participate in activities of daily living. There is no exploration of the Gait pattern and the quality of movement exhibited by children’s of developmental coordination disorder in Tamilnadu context. Children's of age 5 to 10 years were included, and after baseline screening with Diagnostic and statistical manual for mental disorder-5 criteria, children were allowed for further examination. MABC-2 and DCDQ were used to screen and rate the movement skill. Of the total sample of 100, 80% exhibited difficulties in Gait initiation, progression and integration of motor skills. Results proved that sensory integration difficulties experienced by the children with DCD were not related to motor coordination. One hundred children included in the study experiences difficulties in participation with a peer group, awareness of body position sense, balance, and activity int...

Background The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ'07) discriminates children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) from their peers. Studies employing the DCDQ have typically used clinical samples. To further validate the DCDQ'07, this study: (1) described its distributions in a population-based sample, and a sample of children with DCD; (2) explored sex and age differences at important cut-points; and (3) examined its factor structure. Methods This secondary analysis of data collected from 23 schools (n = 3151) included a sample of 3070 children (1526 boys, 1544 girls) and a sample of 122 children (73 boys, 49 girls) who met DCD diagnostic criteria. DCDQ'07 distributions were described by age and sex. Chi-square analyses were conducted using three clinically important percentile ranges; a factor analysis explored the construct validity of DCDQ scores. Results Parents of 3070 children (97.4%) completed the questionnaire independently. Significant sex differences were noted in both samples. Significant differences in proportions by sex, and DCDQ means by age were found in the population sample. A three-factor solution was found, accounting for 70.3% of the variance. Conclusions This is one of the largest studies using the DCDQ'07 with a non-clinical sample. The three-factor solution, including item loading, was consistent with previous research. When using DCDQ cut-offs it is important to consider sex and age.

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is generally defined as a condition that affects movement and coordination. In children aged 5-10 years, DCD can significantly impact various aspects of their lives, including academic performance and learning. DCD may be accompanied and connected with difficulties in cognitive skills, resulting in learning challenges, particularly evident in school subjects such as arithmetic, language, or overall literacy, in this way affecting and reducing academic performance and learning outcomes. The instrument used to collect the data of the study was a questionnaire addressed to parents in order to: identify the rate of children with suspect DCD within the age group of 5-10 and see where our country stands in comparison to other studies carried out in other countries; identify the learning difficulties of typically developing children and children with an indication of/ suspect DCD; see any significant differences between typical children and DCD suspect children as related to school settings and learning difficulties. After the statistical processing of the collected and filtered data it is identified that the total percentage of suspect DCD children is 9.3%, ranging from 2.3% -21.1% at 12 different cities in Albania, and it is slightly higher in boys, 10% in boys vs. 8.6% in girls. Moreover, the results show that 'suspect DCD' children encounter most of the learning difficulties. Whereas, regarding the total number of our subjects we identified that children of this age group tend to take slightly more time to complete school tasks; they do not seem to like changes in daily routine/ environment; they also have difficulty understanding reading passages and tend to respond by repeating questions.

Developmental coordination disorder is used to describe such children who have problem in coordination without any neurological disease or specific medical problem. In this research we study the effectiveness of some physical exercise on motor skill betterment in this children in order to providing a motor protocol for motor function improvement of DCD children. We use experimental method by means of pre-test and post-test here. 36 children were selected from boy students between age 10 to 12 in zone A of Shiraz city according to statistical guideline and diagnostic criteria of mental disorders fourth edition. At first, subject took part in Bruininks Oseretsky motor proficiency pre-test and then were put in two experimental and control groups randomly. Experimental group did select exercise for 24 sixty-minute session (3 session a week) and at the end of the course both groups took part in post-test. Covariance analysis method was used for result analysis. Results show that training intervention group has significant improvement in five subtests balancing, bilateral coordination, response speed, visual-motor control and speed and dexterity of upper limb after comp completion of the course (P<0.05). Significant changes were not seen in two speed and dexterity and power subject (P>0.05). According to obtained results we can say that Physical exercise programs provided in this research may be able to improve motor skill of DCD children.

Ten-year-old children (N = 221, 10.05 years + 0.41 standard deviation) who formed part of the NorthWest Child Health, Integrated with Learning and Development (NW-CHILD) longitudinal study in South Africa were randomly selected to participate. Methods: Motor coordination, visual-motor integration and academic achievement were assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-2, the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration-4, and national and midyear assesments respectively. Spearman Rank order correlations and stepwise regression analyses were used to respectively determine significant associations and unique contributors. Results: All perceptual and coordination skills differed between children with and without DCD, although only visual perception and manual dexterity showed overall correlations with academic performance in children with DCD. Visual perception also correlated strongly with maths (r = 0.26) and with the grade point average (r = 0.31) in children with and without DCD (r = 0.33, r = 0.45). The highest contribution to the total variance (23.11%) in math performance was explained by visual perception (22.04%), while visual perception contributed to 16.36% of 18.17% in the grade point average. Conclusion: Children with DCD display significantly inferior visual-perceptual and coordination skills of which visual perception and manual dexterity influence academic performance (especially maths), negatively.
