Abstract
Aim: To investigate the prevalence of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) in Egyptian children. Subjects: 1025 normal children of both genders with age ranged from 5 to 15 years (IQ > 70) participated in this study. They were selected randomly from different school levels. Methods: The subsamples size was based on a stratified random sample proportion to the subpopulation size according to Central Agency of Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAMPS). The assessment was carried out by the developmental coordination disorder questionnaire’07. Results: According to our study, the prevalence of DCD in Egyptian children is estimated to range between 5.88% and 5.925%. This range has 95% chance to be true. The girls represented 38.3%, while boys were 61.7%. In addition, the higher percentage was found in younger children (48.3 %). Finally, 60% showed lower scores in fine motor/ handwriting, 10% in control during movement, while 30 % had lower scores in general coordination. Conclusion: Our data indicate that developmental coordination disorder is a prevalent disorder that requires more attention and clear diagnosis
