An Explorative RVA of the Motor Development of Children With DCD <2y (RVA_DCD)

An Explorative Retrospective Video-analysis of the Motor Development of Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder Before the Age of Two

This study compares motor development in three groups of infants (controls, DCD, DCD+ASD) before the age of 2 years using retrospective video analysis of infants in home video contexts.

Description

CONTROLS:

Inclusion Criteria:

• Availability of video material of the child before the age of 2.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort	Intervention / Treatment
Controls; This groups consists of children now aged 6-12y: Without a medical diagnosis possibly influencing motor development; Without motor problems (M-ABC-2 and DCD-Q); Without social reponsiveness problems (SRS-2)	Diagnostic test: Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2(M-ABC-2); The M-ABC-2 is a motor performance test for children aged 3 trough 16 years of age. We will use Dutch-Flemish norms.; Diagnostic test: Developmental Coordination Disorder - Questionnaire (DCD-Q); The DCD-Q is a brief parent questionnaire designed to screen for the presence of DCD in children aged 5 trough 15 years of age. We will use Dutch norms.; Diagnostic test: Social Responsiveness Scale 2 (SRS-2); The SRS-2 is a parent questionnaire designed to identify social impairments associated with ASD in children 4 trough 18 years of age. We will used Dutch norms.; Other: Retrospective Video Analysis; Retrospective video analysis will be used to explore motor development in children with DCD, DCD+ASD and controls.
Developmental Coordination Disorder + Autism Spectrum Disorder; This groups consists of children now aged 6-12y: With a multidisciplinary diagnosis of DCD; With motor problems (M-ABC-2 and DCD-Q); With social responsiveness problems (SRS-2)	Diagnostic test: Movement Assessment Battery for Children 2(M-ABC-2); The M-ABC-2 is a motor performance test for children aged 3 trough 16 years of age. We will use Dutch-Flemish norms.; Diagnostic test: Developmental Coordination Disorder - Questionnaire (DCD-Q); The DCD-Q is a brief parent questionnaire designed to screen for the presence of DCD in children aged 5 trough 15 years of age. We will use Dutch norms.; Diagnostic test: Social Responsiveness Scale 2 (SRS-2); The SRS-2 is a parent questionnaire designed to identify social impairments associated with ASD in children 4 trough 18 years of age. We will used Dutch norms.; Other: Retrospective Video Analysis; Retrospective video analysis will be used to explore motor development in children with DCD, DCD+ASD and controls.
