Factors Underlying Inefficient Movement in Learning Disabled Children

Fundamental Movement Skills and Children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder: Peer Comparisons and Stimulant Effects

“…Fourth, we speculate there will be more substantial movement skill problems for children with ADHD and comorbid disorders (Lazarus 1990). Since comorbidity seems to be the norm rather than the exception for children with ADHD (Szatmari et al 1989), adapted physical activity researchers should further explore the relationship of movement skill performance to children with varying levels of comorbid psychopathology.…”

On the relationship between motor performance and executive functioning in children with intellectual disabilities

“…It has been assumed that for sequence production in general, individuals construct a mental plan prior to performance that specifies the content and ordering of sequence events. More specifically, motor sequencing is the serial order and integration of individual components to form smooth and efficient movement (Keele & Summers 1976;Lazarus 1990;Delevoye-Turrell et al 2007). It is exactly in this mental sequence preparation that children with learning disabilities tend to have deficits (Kowalski & Sherrill 1992).…”

Hierarchical Agglomerative Cluster Analysis as a Trial Method Revealing Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) Subtypes

“…The survey shows that disorders in attention, language, reading and/or dyslexia often coexist with symptoms of clumsiness [48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59]. On the other hand, DCD is associated with many comorbid problems [60], including learning disabilities [61] and attention deficit disorder [62].…”
