Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

With more boys being affected than girls, DCD is often characterized by motor impairment that interferes with the child’s activities of daily living and academic achievement (Banhart et al., 2003). These impairments can be ones affecting neurodevelopmental growth that affects both fine and gross motor skills, as well as difficulties in language, perception, thought and eye movements (Ball, 2002). Therefore, it has been characterized by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorder (American Psychiatric Association, 2013), that DCD also causes clumsiness, slowness or inaccuracy in performing coordinated motor skills.
