Developmental coordination disorder is more than a motor problem: Children describe the impact of daily struggles on their quality of life / Jill G. Zwicker in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.81 Issue 2 (February 2018)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.81 Issue 2 (February 2018) . - p. 65-73 Titre : Developmental coordination disorder is more than a motor problem: Children describe the impact of daily struggles on their quality of life Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jill G. Zwicker ; Melinda Suto ; Susan R. Harris ; [et al...] Année de publication : 2018 Article en page(s) : p. 65-73 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : ergothérapie  coordination motrice  enfant  qualité de vie Résumé : Introduction Affecting 5–6% of children, developmental coordination disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by poor motor coordination and difficulty learning motor skills. Although quantitative studies have suggested that children with developmental coordination disorder experience reduced quality of life, no known qualitative studies have reported what daily life is like from their perspective. Method Guided by an inductive realistic approach and using semi-structured, individual interviews, 13 children (8–12 years) were asked to describe what life is like in their own words. Three researchers coded interviews manually to identify relevant content. An experienced qualitative researcher conducted a second, in-depth thematic analysis using NVivo to identify patterns and themes. Findings Two themes – milestones as millstones and the perils of printing – illuminated participants’ challenges in completing everyday activities at home and at school. The third theme – more than a motor problem – revealed the social and emotional impact of these struggles and from being excluded from play. The fourth theme – coping strategies – described their efforts to be resilient. Conclusion Parents, educators, physicians, and therapists working with children with developmental coordination disorder must recognize how their quality of life is affected by the physical and emotional toll of their efforts to participate successfully in daily activities.

Intervention and management of developmental coordination disorder: Are we providing evidence-based services? / Renée Withers in Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 84(3) (juin 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inCanadian Journal of Occupational Therapy > 84(3) (juin 2017) . - p. 158-167 Titre : Intervention and management of developmental coordination disorder: Are we providing evidence-based services? Titre original : Intervention et traitement d’un trouble du développement de la coordination : Les ergothérapeutes fournissent-ils des services fondés sur les faits scientifiques? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Renée Withers ; Yoyo Tsang ; Jill G. Zwicker Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 158-167 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : DCD  prestation de soins de santé  trouble moteur  ergothérapie  approche orientée vers la tâche Résumé : Background. Occupational therapists are well positioned to provide intervention to improve outcomes for children with developmental coordination disorder. However, little is known about what occupational therapy services are provided for these children. Purpose. As part of a larger study exploring service provision for children with developmental coordination disorder, the purpose of this study was to examine intervention and referral practices of occupational therapists in British Columbia, Canada. Method. An online survey was e-mailed to a convenience and snowball sample of paediatric occupational therapists, with 165 therapists responding. Descriptive statistics were used for the data analysis. Findings. Results show that the type and duration of intervention varied greatly throughout the province, as well as within health regions. Although 70% (87/124) of therapists reported being at least moderately familiar with current evidence, only 47% to 59% selected task-based methods as their primary intervention approach. Implications. Findings provide a baseline for current intervention and an opportunity for targeted knowledge translation initiatives.

Occupational therapists’ awareness of guidelines for assessment and diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder / Morgan Karkling in Canadian Journal of Occupational Therapy, 84(3) (juin 2017)

Public ISBD [article]  inCanadian Journal of Occupational Therapy > 84(3) (juin 2017) . - p. 148-157 Titre : Occupational therapists’ awareness of guidelines for assessment and diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder Titre original : Mesure selon laquelle les ergothérapeutes connaissent les lignes directrices relatives à l’évaluation et au diagnostic du trouble du développement de la coordination Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Morgan Karkling ; Alissa Paul ; Jill G. Zwicker Année de publication : 2017 Article en page(s) : p. 148-157 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : dyspraxie  ergothérapie  sondage  TDC  trouble moteur Résumé : Background. Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is a motor skills disorder that can have negative lifelong psychosocial impacts if not diagnosed. Occupational therapists have a role in facilitating a diagnosis for children with DCD through assessment. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of understanding of current DCD guidelines for assessment and diagnosis among occupational therapists working in paediatric settings in British Columbia, Canada. Method. An online survey was e-mailed to occupational therapists who consented to be contacted for research purposes; 169 paediatric therapists responded. Data were reported using percentage, mean, and standard deviation of responses for each answer. Findings. Although many occupational therapists are aware of DCD and the diagnostic criteria, most are unaware of current guidelines for assessment and diagnosis. Many are using cutoff scores inconsistent with current recommendations and thus may not be facilitating a diagnosis when one may be appropriate. Implications. Occupational therapists may benefit from targeted education regarding DCD assessment and diagnosis.
