BACKGROUND Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a condition of impaired quality of movement and occupational performance. It has been hypothesized that the difficulties experienced by children with DCD may in part be due to an impaired ability to use cognitive strategies to solve occupational performance problems. Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) is a verb...

The teaching process and outcome in a skill theme program and a movement concepts program were described and analyzed in seven children with developmental coordination disorder. It was hypothesized that the skill theme program would improve targeted skills and perceived physical competence, whereas the movement concepts program would improve self-esteem and creativity. The seven children were t...

The aim of this study is to describe the reaching action of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and to investigate whether their use of visual feedback during the time course of this action differs from that of normally developing children. Fifty-two children subdivided into 2 age bands (7-8 and 9-10 years) within 2 groups (with and without DCD) participated in this experime...

Synchronous coordination systems allow the exchange of data by logically indivisible actions involving all coordinated entities. This paper introduces behavioural automata, a logically synchronous coordination model based on the Reo coordination language, which focuses on relevant aspects for the concurrent evolution of these systems. We show how our automata model encodes the Reo and Linda coo...

The authors compared 6- to 11-year-olds with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) and those with specific language impairment (SLI) on measures of memory (verbal and visuospatial short-term and working memory) and learning (reading and mathematics). Children with DCD with typical language skills were impaired in all four areas of memory function for their age level, and this pattern was al...

Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) experience difficulty participating in the typical activities of childhood and are known to have a more sedentary pattern of activities than their peers. Little research has been done to investigate the impact of these deficits on the lives of children with DCD and the importance of their participation in the typical activities of childhoo...

introduction: attention deficit / hyperactivity disorder (adhd) is a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity - impulsivity behavior. adhd is frequently accompanied by developmental coordination disorder (dcd). motor coordination is a complex performance of interaction between visual perceptual, neuromuscular coordination, memory, attention and balance. one of the most important p...

CuO nano particles were obtained by calcination of nano-sized  [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O (1) and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) (2) which are two  Cu(II) coordination polymers. The two coordination polymers [Cu(C4H4O4)(bipy)(H2O)2].2H2O and [Cu(2‚2′-bipy)](C4H4O4)0.5(NO3)(H2O) were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR spectroscopy), thermal gravim...
