What is the difference between Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and Dyspraxia? Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) refers to a condition in which a person has severe difficulties in learning everyday motor skills, which cannot be explained by physical, sensory or intellectual impairments. The main features of the condition are clearly described in DSM-5.
Dyspraxia or DCD? While many people in the UK use the term dyspraxia to refer to the difficulties with movement and co-ordination that first develop in young children, the term is used less often by health professionals nowadays. Instead, most healthcare professionals use the term developmental co-ordination disorder (DCD) to describe the condition. This term is generally preferred by healthcare professionals because, strictly speaking, dyspraxia can have several meanings.
