Development of Children With DCD Before the Age of Six
- Conditions
- Developmental Coordination Disorder
- Interventions
- Other: Test Battery
- Registration Number
- NCT03690843
- Lead Sponsor
- University Ghent
- Brief Summary
The aim of this study is to map the early development of children with DCD and compare it to typically developing (TD) children.
At first we will investigate to what extent motor delay, reduced force, higher BMI, behavioral, ADL and participation problems occur in toddlerhood in DCD children and how this relates to TD children. We will also look into the evolution of these parameters in time (stability of development).
Secondly we will explore if the diagnosis of DCD can be predicted using a standardized test before the age of five.
- Detailed Description
A longitudinal study design enables us to assess children at three different ages (3y, 4y and 5y).
Assessment scores (AIMS or/and BSID) before the age of three will be retrieved retrospectively in the clinical group.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Developmental Coordination Disorder This will be assessed at the age of 5 years. Presence or absence of a diagnosis of DCD as defined by the DSM-V diagnostic criteria.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Body Mass Index This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. Height and weight will be determined.
Little-DCD-Questionnaire This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The L-DCD-Q-NL originates in Israel and was designed for children 3 to 4y. It is a revision of the DCD-Q for older children. The Flemish translation expanded the age category from 3 to 5y. The L-DCD-Q is a parental questionnaire scoring 15 activities using a 5-point-Likert scale.
Child Behaviour CheckList This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The CBCL consists of 120 items (3-pointscale) questioning the child's behavior. Two versions are available (teacher and parent) in two age-ranges (1.5y - 6y and 6y - 18y). The absence or presence of features of emotional disorder, anxiety disorder, AD(H)D, OCD, CD and somatic disorder are examined.
Both versions (parent + teacher) within the age-range 1.5 - 6y will be used.Functional Strength Measurement This will be assessed at the age of 4 and 5 years. The FSM is a Dutch test assessing functional force in children 4 to 12y. The test consists of 8 items in two domains (upper extremity and lower extremity). Scores are presented either by limb (upper or lower limb) and/or by type of force (explosive power/endurance).
Beery-Buktenica Developmental test of Visual-Motor Integration 6 This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The Beery-VMI-6 measures the visual-motor integration skills and consists of three subtests (visual-motor integration, motor coordination and visual perception).
Young Children's Participation and Environment Measure This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. YC-PEM is a questionnaire for parents of children aged 0 to 6y. The test consists of 73 items on three participation scales (frequency, involvement and desire to change) and one environment scale (amount of support by environment) measured in three domains (home, kindergarden/school and community).
Movement Assessment Battery For children 2 - Dutch Version This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The M-ABC-2-NL is a motor assessment battery for children age 3 to 16y including three subtests (manual dexterity, ball skills and balance). The test battery was translated to Dutch and Dutch-Flemish norms are available.
DCD-Daily Questionnaire This will be assessed at the age of 5 years. The DCD-Daily-Q is a Dutch parental questionnaire (5 - 8y) consisting of 23 ADL-activities (3-point scale) in three domains: how often the child participates (participation scale), how well the child performs (quality scale) and the time the child needs to learn new skills (learning scale).
Motor Skills Checklist (VMVK) This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The VMVK is a Flemish teacher questionnaire consisting of 28 ADL-activities scored using a 4-point-scale. Norms are available for children age 3 to 5y.
Social Communication Questionnaire This will be assessed at the age of 5 years. SCQ is a parental screening questionnaire for autism in children aged 4 years or older. The questionnaire consists of 40 yes/no questions.
Teacher report form This will be assessed at the age of 3, 4 and 5 years. The TRFconsists of 120 items (3-pointscale) questioning the child's behavior. Two versions are available (teacher and parent) in two age-ranges (1.5y - 6y and 6y - 18y). The absence or presence of features of emotional disorder, anxiety disorder, AD(H)D, OCD, CD and somatic disorder are examined.
