Recognition Type Committee/board/panel member or chair (external) Description Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a lifelong condition affecting 2-6% of children in the UK, many of whom continue to have motor difficulties into adulthood. Despite its prevalence, there are no established research priorities for DCD in the UK, unlike other neurodevelopmental disorders like Autism. This lack of focus risks disjointed research efforts that do not meet the needs of those affected by DCD. In Canada, a project to set research priorities for DCD has already been completed, showing the UK is currently behind in this area.
The aim of the DCD PSP is to identify the unanswered questions about DCD from people with lived experience, carer, clinical and academic perspectives and then prioritise those that people with lived experience, carers and clinicians agree are the most important for research to address.
