Study of developmental coordination disorder in children and adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study is looking at people with developmental coordination disorder (dyspraxia) using specific movement and coordination assessments. It may help researchers better understand the condition and how to measure it for future treatments or support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You can join if you are any sex and between ages 9–11 or 18–40
- You must be able to take part through a healthcare organization (for example, your care team or clinic)
- If you are an adult, you can sign consent yourself; if you are a child, your legal guardian provides consent and the child agrees too
- You likely need a diagnosis of dyspraxia (developmental coordination disorder) confirmed by the study team
- Your coordination test score must be below the 15th percentile on the MABC-2 (if you already have this test, bring the result)

This study looks at how children with ADHD develop motor skills compared to children without ADHD. Your child will take part in assessments and receive support to improve their movement and coordination.
This study looks at how quickly children with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) react and how their motor skills (like movement and coordination) compare to typically developing children. It may help understand how PDD affects these abilities.
This study tests whether gentle sensory stimulation (like touching or feeling different textures) can improve movement and coordination in children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD). If your child struggles with motor skills, this therapy might help them become more coordinated and confident.
This study tests whether task-oriented exercises can improve coordination and daily skills in children aged 4 to 12 with developmental coordination disorder (a condition that makes motor tasks like writing or catching harder). The goal is to help them move more easily and feel more confident in everyday activities.
This study compares how children with and without Developmental Coordination Disorder (a condition affecting motor skills) move their bodies during balance tasks. Researchers will use special tests and motion sensors to see different movement patterns, which could help design better therapy for kids with balance or coordination challenges.
This study aims to better understand how motor skills (movement and coordination) work in children with autism spectrum disorder. It uses an assessment approach to help researchers understand what motor difficulties look like, which may improve future evaluations and support.
