Awareness Programs for Developmental Coordination Disorder | Cadabam’s CDC
Does your child avoid PE, struggle with buttons, or knock over drinks? These everyday challenges may point to Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Cadabam’s CDC runs Awareness Programs for developmental coordination disorder that turn confusion into confidence for parents, teachers, and entire school communities.
Why Awareness Programs for Developmental Coordination Disorder Matter
Bridging Knowledge Gaps in Schools and Communities Most teachers receive zero training on DCD. Our sessions explain why “clumsy” is not lazy—it's neurology. We translate occupational-therapy lingo into playground-ready tips.
Advocating for Early Diagnosis and Intervention Every six-month delay equals lost confidence. We show red-flag motor milestones and map out the shortest route to assessment, skipping the usual run-around.
Reducing Stigma Around Motor Difficulties Kids are labelled “slow” or “disruptive.” Interactive demos help classmates experience life with dyspraxia goggles and wobbly pens, building empathy in 20 minutes.
