Persistent Sensory, Motor and Functional Difficulties From Childhood to Adolescence in Developmental Coordination Disorder

Key Points

• This research aims to explore the continuation of sensory, motor, and functional difficulties from childhood into adolescence in individuals with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).
• Analysis of sensory, motor, and functional performance in children and adolescents with DCD.
• Comparison of sensory-processing difficulties with functional performance and motor proficiency.
• Assessment of intervention approaches utilized for managing DCD.
• Sensory-processing difficulties are significantly linked to functional performance.
• Motor proficiency does not correlate as strongly with functional performance compared to sensory processing.
• Persistent difficulties in sensory and motor functions are evident throughout childhood and adolescence.
