Summary
This study looks at whether adding active video game training to standard occupational therapy can improve how children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) see and plan movements. About 70 children aged 5 to 8 will be split into two groups: one gets video games plus therapy, the other gets therapy alone. The goal is to see if the fun, game-based approach helps them perform daily tasks and play more easily.
