Abstract

Typical settings of intervention for children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) include home, school, and clinic. Within this current study, we aimed to describe how a concurrent delivery of clinic and home programs for children with DCD would work. Four children with DCD and their families participated in a 10-week trial. All four children had high attendance rates for the clinic sessions. Two of the four families effusively participated in the home program, but the other two families reported difficulties with home practice. The significance of this multiple case report lies in the increased awareness of diverse family needs and capacities to support children with DCD at home.
