Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to map the early development of children with DCD and compare it to typically developing (TD) children.

At first we will investigate to what extent motor delay, reduced force, higher BMI, behavioral, ADL and participation problems occur in toddlerhood in DCD children and how this relates to TD children. We will also look into the evolution of these parameters in time (stability of development).

Secondly we will explore if the diagnosis of DCD can be predicted using a standardized test before the age of five.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A longitudinal study design enables us to assess children at three different ages (3y, 4y and 5y).

Assessment scores (AIMS or/and BSID) before the age of three will be retrieved retrospectively in the clinical group.

DCD Group

Children diagnosed with DCD or at-risk DCD at two or three years of age

Test Battery

Intervention Type OTHER

All toddlers (DCD children + TD children) included in the study will be tested at three points in time, that is at the age of 3y, 4y and 5y with an extensive test battery. Questionnaires will be filled in by parents and teachers. Children will be tested using different instruments.

Control Group

Typically developing children

Test Battery

Intervention Type OTHER
