Your doctor might have ordered some medical tests or made an appointment with a specialist before deciding that you have DCD. This is to make sure that nothing else is causing your coordination challenges.

Most adults who have DCD do very well because they have learned to find a way around their motor difficulties and have developed other strengths. More boys have DCD than girls. Is it something in your genes? Did something affect your development before or after you were born?

Pay attention to what is going on around you when you are having success or difficulty such as noise, other distractions and change the environment when necessary.
