Abstract:
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a developmental disorder that mainly affects children′s motor coordination.The prevalence of DCD in childhood is very high, and it seriously affects the physical and mental health of school-age children.In China, this disease has not yet been fully recognized and understood.There is a lack of standardized and unified diagnostic criteria, and the standardization of relevant clinical assessment tools and the establishment of normative models are insufficient.In addition, the clinical practice and experience of most health professionals in dealing with DCD appear to be limited.Based on international clinical practice recommendations on the definition, diagnosis, assessment, intervention, and psychosocial aspects of DCD issued by the European Academy of Childhood Disability in 2019, the recommendations related to the diagnosis, evaluation and intervention of DCD in the guidelines were compiled and interpreted in the light of the current clinical practice and research in China.The objective of this study is to bring DCD to the attention of more domestic medical experts through the interpretation of this international guideline and to provide preliminary guidance on the clinical diagnosis, assessment, and intervention of DCD.
