Our Special Education Services for Developmental Coordination Disorder

Comprehensive motor skills assessment We start with the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) plus a sensory-profile checklist. Results pinpoint exactly where your child needs support—gross motor, fine motor, or both.

Individualized Education Plan (IEP) development Within two weeks, we craft a developmental delay IEP that lists:

• Specific, measurable goals (e.g., “cut along a curved line within 5 mm accuracy”).
• Therapy hours per week.
• Classroom accommodations.

Occupational therapy integration OT sessions target daily tasks: buttoning shirts, using scissors, and typing on a keyboard. Hand-strengthening tools, weighted pencils, and textured paper are introduced gradually.

Adaptive physical education PE classes are modified to include balance beams, mini-trampolines, and obstacle courses. Students build core strength without the pressure of competitive sports.

Assistive technology setup From grip-friendly styluses to speech-to-text apps, we trial and select tools that fit each child’s learning style. Parents receive a take-home kit so progress continues after school.
