Motor Milestones: Define what motor milestones are, including examples (sitting, walking, grasping).
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD): Define DCD, its symptoms, diagnosis criteria, and how it is identified in children.
Premise of the Statement:
Analyze the implication that a delay in meeting motor milestones automatically suggests DCD. Is this a universally accepted indication, or are there exceptions?
Exploration of Alternative Explanations:
Discuss other possible reasons for delayed motor milestones such as other neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., cerebral palsy, muscular dystrophy), environmental factors, or even variations in normal development.
Role of Diagnostic Criteria:
Examine the criteria for diagnosing DCD according to established medical guidelines like the DSM-5 or ICD-10.
Consider how strictly these criteria are followed in practice and the potential for mis diagnosis.
address the issues with measurements used to diagnose DCD
Review of Relevant Research:
Summarize key findings from recent studies on motor development and DCD.
Include statistics to illustrate the prevalence of DCD in children with delayed motor milestones versus those without.
Critical Analysis:
Critically assess the reliability of using motor milestone delays as a sole indicator for DCD.
Discuss the precision and accuracy of early screening and diagnosis based on motor skill development.
Discussion of Broader Implications:
Explore the implications of misdiagnosis or overdiagnosis based on premature evaluation of motor skills.
Consider the psychological and social impact on children and their families when labeled with a disorder.
Conclusion:
Conclude by summarizing the key points discussed.
Reflect on the importance of comprehensive assessments and the need for a cautious approach in linking motor milestone delays directly to DCD without thorough evaluation.

DO NOT TAKE THIS ASSIGNMENT IF YOU CAN’T ACE IT BECAUSE I WILL NOT PAY IF I DONT GET A 90 OR ABOVE. This is a lit review, my graduation depends on it. I have already gone over research articles, I have provided the titles of the research articles as well as my own research from these articles. i will provide more info after accepting the assignment.
