Dyspraxia ? more commonly called developmental coordination disorder (DCD) ? is indeed a very real condition! In fact, it's thought to affect around six percent of children across the United States. Your suspicions about its existence are not unfounded, though. Researchers and health care providers struggle to define and diagnose DCD. Essentially, DCD is a developmental delay that involves prob...

Occupational therapists frequently work with children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in hopes of enhancing their occupational performance. There is debate among researchers and health care professionals about whether the motor coordination problems experienced by children with DCD have a physiological basis or whether they are the result of a developmental delay. Even among rese...

We previously described a co-twin control design using questionnaire data on monozygotic twins discordant and concordant for developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Our results suggested that DCD and developmental ADHD had different causal pathways, and that second-born twins were at higher risk for oxygen perfusion problems than first-born...

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) are two developmental disorders with considerable comorbidity. The impact of Methylphenidate (MPH) on ADHD symptoms is well documented. However, the effects of MPH on motor coordination are less studied. We assessed the influence of MPH on motor performance of children with comorbid DCD and ADHD. Partici...
