Social participation for children with developmental coordination disorder: conceptual, evaluation and intervention considerations.

Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) often have limited participation in social activities, causing isolation, anxiety, emotional and social problems in children themselves and their families. This paper reviews studies that investigated participation in activities of children with DCD in home, community and school. Assessments to evaluate social participation of children with DCD, intervention, strategies and future research considerations for children with DCD are suggested.
