Authors' objectives:
This report addresses the research questions, which recommendations on Developmental Coordination Disorder (for screening, diagnostic testing, indication and form of therapy) are provided in evidence-based guidelines, which differentiation criteria between occupational therapy and other forms of treatment are being discussed and which of the recommended tools can be introduced in Austria with regard to language (German) and standardisation/adaption (central Europe).
Authors' recommendations:
A population based screening for Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is not recommended due to the lack of sufficiently sensitive screening tools. For DCD diagnosis, all information sources recommend the use of standardised assessment tools. However, currently there is no gold standard available. Of 85 identified assessment tools, 12 have been both translated into German and standardised/adapted for Central Europe. Recommended interventions for children and adolescents with DCD should target the individual activity- and participation-level of the affected person. Differentiation criteria for various forms of therapy could not be identified.
