| Description | Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) also known as developmental dyspraxia, affects about 6-10 % of children, of whom 2 % are severely affected (boys more often than girls; 4:1). DCD causes difficulties in activities of daily living, learning new skills, performance in sports and coordinated movement in general. DCD is usually diagnosed in childhood, most commonly through standardised testing using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2). This testing can be used from 3 to 16 years of age. There is no cure for DCD and children become adults with DCD. A questionnaire for the evaluation of dyspraxia has been standardized for the adult population - the Adult Developmental Coordination Disorder/Dyspraxia Checklist (ADC). The questionnaire consists of forty items divided into three subsections. It is intended for people aged 18-40; standardized in English in 2009 for U.K. and Hebrew for Israel, but not for the Czech population. |
