Developmental Co-ordination Disorder



Now Available – Online Education about DCD
There is now  an online workshop available on the CanChild website designed to increase knowledge about DCD and other motor coordination challenges and to increase confidence in supporting a child's development and participation. 

It was designed originally for parents, but is useful for others as well 
including teachers, health professionals, coaches, family members and friends. It is interactive in nature and takes approximately 60 minutes to go through, but can also be done in shorter segments. The workshop explains what DCD is and provides an overview of the causes of DCD, how DCD is diagnosed, typical motor development and of other health conditions that are related to DCD. 

Users can view video clips and complete an exercise that guides them to feel what it is like to have DCD.
