Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurological condition that affects a person's ability to plan and execute coordinated movements. Individuals with DCD may struggle with everyday activities such as writing, tying shoelaces, or participating in sports due to difficulties in motor skills. It’s often identified in children but can continue into adulthood. DCD is not linked to a person's intelligence and can coexist with other conditions like ADHD or learning disabilities. Early diagnosis and intervention through physical therapy and occupational therapy can help manage symptoms and improve motor skills.
