🗨️ "They're just a little clumsy" "They just need practice"
🧐 What if there's more to the story?
🤸🏻♀️ Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), sometimes called dyspraxia, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how children learn and coordinate motor skills.
DCD is estimated to affect 5-6% of school-aged children, yet it can often go unrecognized.
For some children, everyday activities like getting dressed, writing, using scissors, or riding a bike can take significantly more effort... And it's not for a lack of trying!
Understanding a child's motor challenges can help us find the right supports, build confidence, and make everyday activities easier.
At Community Kids OT, we offer comprehensive assessments to explore motor coordination and its impact on everyday activities.
