Detailed Description

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

The Diagnostic and Statistical manual 5th edition (DSM-V) defines Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) as early-onset deficits in acquiring and executing motor coordination skills. These deficits significantly interfere with the performance of activities of daily living and impact on academic productivity, leisure and play.

Although DCD can be identified during preschool, diagnosis generally occurs at primary-school age. Before the age of three (t.i. infancy), some parents already express "something is wrong" with their child albeit DCD is rarely diagnosed within this age-group.

Knowledge on DCD in children before the age of five is limited. The aim of this study is twofold: to explore the early development of children with DCD and to map the diagnostic trajectory of DCD in Flanders.

Design: A qualitative narrative inductive study design by means of audio-recorded in-depth interviews

Sampling: Purposeful maximum variation sampling will be applied.

DCD Parents

An in-depth interview will be conducted of parents of a child with DCD. Parents will be asked to complete a Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCD-Q).

In-depth parental interview

Intervention Type OTHER

A semi-structurerd interview will be conducted of parents with a child diagnosed with DCD. The interview will be audio-recorderded. The audiofile will be transcribed ad-verbatim and analyzed using narrative analysis methods.
