This condition involves a marked impairment in the development of motor coordination. For a child, this can manifest as clumsiness or difficulty with tasks like tying shoes or playing sports, which can impact their self-esteem and participation in activities. We offer supportive therapies to help improve coordination and build confidence.
Common Symptoms or Things to Look Out For:
- Motor skill acquisition and execution substantially below expectations for age.
- Clumsiness, as well as slowness and inaccuracy of performance of motor skills.
- Delays in developmental motor milestones (e.g., sitting, crawling, walking).
- Difficulty with fine motor coordination (e.g., handwriting, using scissors).
- Poor performance in sports or other activities requiring coordination.
- Motor difficulties significantly interfere with academic achievement or daily activities.
