DCD is characterized by motor impairments that interfere with the child’s activities of daily living and academic achievement (Banhart et al., 2003). These impairments affect neurodevelopmental growth, where difficulties in fine and gross motor skills, language, perception and eye movements are seen (Ball, 2002). Therefore, it is characterized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (DSM) (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), that DCD causes clumsiness, slowness or inaccuracy in performing coordinated motor skills.
