Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a motor disorder that is characterized by the acquisition and execution of coordinated motor skills substantially below expectations for the individual's chronological age. It is a motor difficulty that usually appears through simple activities such as walking, sitting, jumping or performing tasks such as tying shoelaces. OBJECTIVES: To present definitions, diagnosis and forms of action of the physiotherapy professional with the multidisciplinary team in the treatment of school-age children diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder. METHODOLOGY: The work was prepared/written through several literature reviews in books, electronic articles and websites that address the theme, in databases: Scielo, Lilacs, Scopus and others; Materials with publication dates between 2012 and 2022 were analyzed. RESULTS: It can be concluded that Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) occurs when there is regression in the development of motor skills or difficulties in executing movements, resulting in the child's inability to perform daily activities. The insertion of regular physical activities and games duly taught by the disciplinary team during childhood can help and contribute to an improvement in the physical, social and educational development of the child. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: The insertion of activities and other resources related to physical education are essential in the identification of developmental coordination disorders in the school phase, since they will be focused on the development of fundamental motor skills during childhood, providing practices with objectives already pre-established by multidisciplinary team and respecting and taking into account the characteristics of motor behavior, with school-age children having the best performance in motor coordination and rhythm, making them more qualified to acquire, integrate, store, build and express information.
