Climbing therapy for children with coordination challenges
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study tests whether climbing activities can help children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD)—a condition that makes it harder to plan and control movements—improve their motor skills and daily functioning. Your child would participate in climbing sessions designed to build coordination and confidence.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
