Summary

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects 5-6% of the school-age population, equating to \~400,000 children, or 1-2 students in every Canadian classroom. Children with DCD find it hard to learn motor skills and perform everyday activities, such as getting dressed, tying shoelaces, using utensils, printing, riding a bicycle, or playing sports. Researchers and clinicians do not know what causes DCD or why children with DCD struggle to learn motor skills. Using MRI, this study will increase understanding of how the brain differs in children with/without DCD and determine if rehabilitation can change the brain and improve outcomes of children with the disorder.

Conditions

  • Motor Skills Disorders

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Cognitive Orientation to Occupational Performance (CO-OP)

CO-OP is a cognitive approach to solving functional motor problems (Polatajko et al., 2001b). Therapists teach children a global problem solving strategy (Goal-Plan-Do-Check) as a framework for developing specific strategies for overcoming motor problems; these strategies are determined after a dynamic performance analysis by the therapist to determine where the "breakdown" is in performing the task. Occupational therapists will see children once weekly for one hour over 10 weeks as per published protocol (Polatajko et al., 2001b), plus two assessment sessions. Children will select three functional motor goals to be addressed over the course of treatment, rating their performance and satisfaction of these goals pre- and post-intervention.
