Zusammenfassung

Jede in der Pädiatrie tätige Ergotherapeutin ist in der Lage, Schwierigkeiten mit der grob- oder feinmotorischen Koordination bei einem Kind zu erkennen; der Ausdruck „Developmental coordination disorder” (DCD) jedoch ist in deutschsprachigen Ländern nur wenigen Therapeuten geläufig. DCD ist eine – häufig trivialisierte – Störung mit langfristigen Folgen für Kinder und ihre Familien. Ziel dieses Artikels ist es, zunächst die Ergebnisse einer international angelegten Literatursuche zu DCD-Studien zu präsentieren, zu denen deutschsprachige Therapeuten möglicherweise ansonsten keinen Zugang haben. Sodann sollen die Auswirkungen des Störungsbilds auf Entwicklung und Teilhabe des Kindes an bedeutungsvollen Lebensrollen beschrieben und schließlich aufgezeigt werden, in welchen Bereichen mehr Forschung notwendig ist.

Abstract

Although every paediatric occupational therapist would recognise a child with gross- or fine- motor coordination difficulties, the term Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is less well-known in German-speaking countries. Often trivialised, DCD is a disorder with long-term consequences for the child and his/her family. This article aims to (1) present the results of a literature review of international studies on DCD to which German–language therapists might not otherwise have access, (2) describe the impact of the condition on the child’s development and participation in meaningful life roles, and (3) indicate where more research is needed.

Schlüsselwörter
