Overview
of Developmental Coordination Disorder (the clumsy child syndrome)
- Motor skills are typically acquired in a continuous, progressive,
orderly process. Normal motor function requires the coordination of
neurologic, physiologic, and biologic processes including proprioception,
vestibular integration, strength, balance, coordination, dexterity,
visual-motor ability, and visual ability. Individual and environmental
factors, such as motivation, perseverance, opportunity for practice,
and encouragement, also play a role. Problems in any of these areas
can result in lack of motor skills, or clumsiness. 3/5
