[QUOTE="soapbox, post: 478722, member: 13003"] Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is typically a [I]developmental[/I] issue, which means that there are skills they can learn, and often can learn well... but it will take them a LOT longer to develop the mental coordination to do so. A few issues may linger, including fatigue from high-coordination work. I'd be wary of pushing the "speed" of his coloring... he really CAN'T do it, if it is a motor-coordination issue. And yes, from what you've described, trying to get him engaged in group athletic activities is likely to highlight - to HIM as well as to others - the gap in his skills and speed of learning this stuff... I'd be working with an Occupational Therapist (OT) first, not just evaluation, and then the Occupational Therapist (OT) can help with those kinds of discussions. [/QUOTE]
