Online Consultation for Developmental Coordination Disorder | Cadabams CDC
Watching your child struggle to button a shirt or ride a bike can feel overwhelming. Online consultation for developmental coordination disorder (DCD) offers a convenient, evidence-based way to get answers and start support—without leaving your living room. At Cadabams CDC, we guide parents every step of the way.
What Is Online Consultation for Developmental Coordination Disorder?
Definition & Scope
Online consultation is a secure video session where our specialists evaluate, diagnose, and plan treatment for DCD. Using live interaction, questionnaires, and parent-uploaded videos, we capture the same clinical insights you would receive in a clinic.
Who Benefits
- Children aged 4–16 who appear clumsy, avoid sports, or have poor handwriting
- Parents in smaller cities with limited DCD specialists
- Families juggling school, work, and commuting challenges
How It Differs from In-Person Visits
| In-Person Clinic | Online Consultation |
|---|---|
| Travel & waiting rooms | Zero travel time |
| Fixed appointment slots | Evening & weekend slots |
| Standardised toys | Everyday household items used creatively |
| Immediate hands-on tests | Guided parent facilitation for motor tasks |
