Key inclusion & exclusion criteria
|
Inclusion criteria: Children between the ages of 7-10 years attending selected schools
All participants identified as having DCD whose parents have provided consent and who themselves have provided assent, will proceed on to the intervention phase.
DCD is defined as the presence of a functional motor problem detected on screening and a score of b15th percentile on the MABC-2.
Exclusion criteria: No specific exclusion criteria will be applied during assessment.
For the second phase, participants who are reported to have epilepsy will be excluded from using the Wii Fit game as it has been reported that exposure to video games may trigger seizures. These participants will receive standard care.
Participants with an identifiable cause of motor delay, as determined through medical history from parental report and/or clinical examination by the research therapist, will be included in the treatment protocol for ethical reasons. However, their results will be analysed separately.
