Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have significant difficulties with age-appropriate motor skills, such as walking, running, jumping, throwing, catching, and writing. They may also have poor balance, posture, and spatial awareness. While they may struggle with tasks that require eye-hand coordination, it's not a defining characteristic of DCD. Similarly, although some children with DCD may have cognitive issues related to planning and impulse control, this is not a distinguishing feature of the disorder.
