Children's perceptions of the impact of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) have a motor impairment that affects their ability to perform everyday tasks. This article focuses on a study that used a child-focused approach on 5-10 year olds to understand children's views of the impact of DCD on the activities that they perform daily. Whilst parents and teachers conveyed their views, the children expressed addtional concerns about their ability to perform daily self-care tasks and leisure activities, which were rarely recognised by adults.
