Week 5 Classification Developmental coordination disorder is classified (by doctors) in the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) as a motor disorder, in the category of neurodevelopmental disorders.[13] The DSM-IV defines DCD via four criteria. 1. Motor coordination during daily activity is significantly impaired compared to chronological age and intelligence level. 2. Lack of motor coordination mentioned above causes a negative impact on the subjects learning capabilities or ADLs. 3. Lack of motor coordination is not credited to general medical conditions and is not a pervasive developmental disorder. 4. A child with mental retardation will demonstrated an increase in motor difficulties compared to the usual child with mental retardation.

Hi Pete,

I was wondering if you had considered adding a section on how developmental coordination disorder affects adults? I think this would be a useful section to add to the article because developmental coordination disorder has significant effects on individuals in adulthood, especially regarding their ability to get a job and live independently as an adult.
