Developmental coordination disorder
Treatment
Physical education and perceptual motor training are the best approaches for treating coordination disorder.

Complications
- Learning problems
- Low self-esteem resulting from poor ability at sports and teasing by other children
- Repeated injuries
- Weight gain as a result of not wanting to participate in physical activities (such as sports)
