- Joining Up Motor Assessment with Pediatricians - JUMP for DCD
-
Does your child have difficulty with motor skills? Does your child require Occupational Therapy (OT) assessment for DCD?
This study aims to 1) learn how OT assessment for DCD can help pediatricians diagnose children with DCD and 2) build our database on children with DCD and how best to help them.

- Movie & fMRI in Children with DCD (8-10 years)
-
Do you have a child with motor difficulties or a diagnosis of DCD?
This study uses MRI brain scans to learn more about how the brains of children with DCD work. The goal is to support earlier diagnosis and better care for children with DCD.

- Young Children with DCD (age 3-5 years)
-
Do you have a child age 3-5 yr years old having trouble learning motor-based tasks?
By taking part in this study, your child can receive early intervention while helping researchers understand how therapy supports motor skills and brain development in young children with DCD.
