Developmental coordination disorder (DCD), also known as developmental motor coordination disorder, developmental dyspraxia, or simply dyspraxia (from Ancient Greek praxis 'activity'), is a motor disorder[1] characterized by impaired coordination of physical movements as a result of brain messages not being accurately transmitted to the body. Deficits in fine or gross motor skills movements interfere with activities of daily living. It is often described as disorder in skill acquisition, where the learning and execution of coordinated motor skills is substantially below that expected given the individual's chronological age. Difficulties may present as clumsiness, slowness and inaccuracy of performance of motor skills (e.g., catching objects, using cutlery, handwriting, riding a bike, use of tools or participating in team sports or swimming). It often co-occurs with [[Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder|ADHD]] and It is a commonly co-occuring condition in ADHD E.K. Farran, A. Bowler, H. D’Souza, L. Mayall, A. Karmiloff-Smith, E. Sumner, D. Brady, E.L. Hill
Is the motor impairment in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) a co-occurring deficit or a phenotypic characteristic?

A diagnosis of DCD is reached only when the the motor skills deficit is not better explained by intellectual disability, visual impairment, or a neurological or medical condition affecting movement such as cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson's disease, https://www.dcdq.ca/
The condition is lifelong and its onset is in early childhood. It is thought to affect about 5% of the population. Occupational therapy can help people with dyspraxia to develop their coordination and achieve things that they might otherwise find extremely challenging to accomplish. Dyspraxia has nothing to do with intelligence but people with dyspraxia may struggle with self-esteem because their peers can easily do things they struggle with on a daily basis. Dyspraxia is not often known as a disability in the general public.
