"Developmental Coordination Disorder and its Consequences"

SHOW GUEST: Dr. John Cairney

Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neuro-developmental disorder that affects one in every twenty

children. Children with DCD have problems with motor coordination that make everyday tasks such as active

play, writing, eating, and dressing difficult and frustrating. Despite how common this health condition is,

DCD is often misunderstood and frequently goes undiagnosed. In our interview, Dr. John Cairney describes how

his new book, Developmental Coordination Disorder and its Consequences, brings together the research from

leading international experts on DCD from several disciplines outlining the latest evidence on the diagnosis,

consequences, and neuropsychological underpinnings of the disorder.
