Social responsiveness in children with developmental coordination disorder.

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by deficits in performing motor tasks. Research suggests social skills are also altered.

Objective: To investigate (1) whether the presence of DCD affects social responsiveness, (2) whether the co-occurrence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects social responsiveness in children with DCD, and (3) whether there is an association between motor performance and social responsiveness in children with DCD.

Parental report of early features of developmental coordination disorder: A qualitative study.

Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental condition usually diagnosed after five years of age.

Aims: To evaluate parent-reported early markers of DCD between birth and six years of age.

Methods And Procedures: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents of twelve children diagnosed with DCD.

Psychometric properties of the Belgian LDCDQ (LDCDQ-BE) in a population based sample.

Background: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder usually diagnosed at school-age. It is related to secondary consequences urging early identification. The Little Developmental Coordination Questionnaire (LDCDQ) is a tool to identify young children at risk of a later DCD diagnosis.

Developmental Coordination Disorder before the Age of Three: A Longitudinal Retrospective Study in a Belgian Center for Developmental Disabilities.

This study aimed to explore the association between developmental coordination disorder (DCD) diagnosed after the age of three and both a standardized motor test—the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS)—and non-standardized observation of movement quality carried out before the age of three. Children at risk or with developmental concerns were studied retrospectively. Children were excluded in case of a diagnosis, excluding DCD, e.

Standardized motor assessments before the age of five predicting school-aged motor outcome including DCD: A systematic review.

Aim: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder usually diagnosed at primary-school-age. This systematic review aimed to summarize available standardized motor assessments before five years of age predicting DCD, complex Minor Neurological Disorder (cMND) and motor delay assessed by a standardized motor test.

Methods: A systematic search was performed in MEDLINE, CINAHL, WoS, Scopus, CENTRAL and ERIC.

Effectiveness of a self-regulated remedial program for handwriting difficulties.

Background: Handwriting difficulties may have pervasive effects on a child's school performance. I Can! is a remedial handwriting program with a focus on self-regulated learning and applying motor learning principles combined with a behavioural approach. It is developed for typically developing children with handwriting problems.
