Eligibility Criteria

Ages
2 to 11 (—)

Inclusion Criteria

  • The inclusion criteria for children with DCD are (according to the DSM-V criteria for DCD):
  • - motor ability substantially below expected given the chronological age of the child (criterion A) - the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (mABC - second edition) will be used to assess the motor abilities of the children. Children can only be included in the DCD group if they have a mABC at or below 16th percentile.
  • - Motor impairment significantly interferes with daily life and/or academic achievement (criterion B). Only children that are referred to the centers for training of their motor abilities are included in this study. Referral for training of motor abilities is a strong indication that the motor impairment either causes problems in daily life, or with academic achievement. In addition, as recommended, the DCD Questionnaire (DCDQ) will be used to assess whether the motor impairment has an impact on the daily life or academic achievement of the child
  • - Onset of symptoms is in the early developmental period (criterion C) as evidenced by their referral to a centre for training of their motor abilities between the ages of 7-12 years.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Exclusion criteria (criterion D):
  • - Any medical condition that could cause the motor impairment (checked by a questionnaire filled in by the parents of the children)
  • - An IQ < 70 (only children from regular primary schools will be included in this study)
