The following resources are designed to help parents identify and manage school-aged children with movement problems typical of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Strategies written specifically for adolescents with DCD are also provided to help answer some of their questions about DCD. Parents interested in obtaining a diagnosis for their child should contact their family physician or pediatrician to ask more about DCD. Some primary care physicians are less familiar with this disorder. Several resources provided here have been found to be helpful, and may be shared with physicians. Additional resources are provided for parents wishing to obtain occupational therapy or other clinical services in the local Hamilton (Ontario) community. Parents living outside of the Hamilton community should contact their family physicians for information on appropriate services, if required. Tips and strategies on encouraging physical activity in children are also provided. Finally, a list of suggested readings on DCD that may be suitable for different audiences (including children with movement problems) is included here.
