Abstract
The development of motor coordination is an area in which many children experience difficulty. This paper describes a three-fold therapeutic programme which serves to enhance the motor skills of children with motor dyspraxia, now termed developmental coordination disorder. It demonstrates how professionals working together can contribute constructively to improving motor skills and how this intervention can be measured in order to ensure that these children receive a quality, effective service.Keywords
