Children with DCD

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a condition that affects a child's ability to plan and coordinate movements. Children with DCD may struggle with everyday tasks such as writing, tying shoelaces, or participating in sports. This can lead to difficulties in school and social situations, impacting their self-esteem and confidence. DCD is not a reflection of a child’s intelligence; rather, it's related to how their brain processes movement. Early intervention, including occupational therapy and tailored support, can help these children develop their motor skills and improve their overall functioning.
