“…Although potential mediators were not explored in this review, they have been outlined previously (Mancini et al., , ). They include peer victimisation (Campbell et al., ), reduced leisure activities (Raz‐Silbiger et al., ), impaired social skills (Wilson, Piek et al., ), poorer self‐esteem (Rigoli et al., ), physical inactivity (Li et al., ), reduced social support (Rigoli et al., ) and lower perceived academic competence (Lingam et al., ). Individuals with DCD may also experience impairments to various cognitive abilities, including executive function (Wilson, Ruddock, Smits‐Engelsman, Polatajko, & Blank, ) and social cognition (Cummins, Piek, & Dyck, ).…”

Background: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) affects 5%-6% of children. There is growing evidence that DCD is associated with greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety). This is the first systematic review and meta-analysis to explore the magnitude of this effect, the quality of the evidence and potential moderators. Methods: A systematic search was conducted to identify studies reporting a comparison between individuals with DCD/probable DCD and typically developing (TD) individuals on measures of internalising symptoms. A pooled effect size (Hedges g) was calculated using random-effects meta-analysis. Study quality, publication bias and potential moderators of the effect were explored. Results: Twenty studies, including a total of 23 subsamples, met the inclusion criteria, of which 22 subsamples were included in the meta-analysis (DCD: n = 1123; TD: n = 7346). A significant, moderate effect of DCD on internalising symptoms was found (g = 0.61). This effect remained robust after accounting for publication bias and excluding lower quality studies. The effect was significantly larger in studies utilising a cross-sectional design (vs. longitudinal), convenience sampling (vs. population screening) and a majority male sample. Conclusions: The findings demonstrate that individuals with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms than their peers. This highlights the importance of routine screening for emotional difficulties in DCD, raising awareness of the condition in mental health services and developing psychosocial interventions that extend beyond a focus on motor impairments. However, there is a need for higher quality, longitudinal studies to better understand the causal relationship between DCD and internalising symptoms.Research indicates that individuals with DCD may be at a greater risk of mental health difficulties. However, there has been no attempt to systematically consolidate this research. This meta-analysis suggests that children and adolescents with DCD experience greater levels of internalising symptoms (i.e. depression and anxiety) than their typically developing peers. This highlights the potential need for routine screening of mental health difficulties in individuals with DCD. It also highlights the need for psychosocial interventions for this population.

“…concluded that gross motor skills of children with developmental coordination disorders are somewhat related to the physical and school dimensions of their QoL (Raz‐Silbiger et al . ). Finally, in a study by Petry et al () that examined the association between QoL, motor function, personal characteristics and characteristics of care settings in people with SMD, the authors, surprisingly, found no significant relation between motor limitation and QoL scores.…”

“…In children with spina bifida, Schoenmakers et al showed that being able to move independently was much more important for daily life function and QoL than other medical indicators of the disorder (Schoenmakers et al 2005). Raz-Silbiger et al concluded that gross motor skills of children with developmental coordination disorders are somewhat related to the physical and school dimensions of their QoL (Raz-Silbiger et al 2015). Finally, in a study by Petry et al (2009b) that examined the association between QoL, motor function, personal characteristics and characteristics of care settings in people with SMD, the authors, surprisingly, found no significant relation between motor limitation and QoL scores.…”

“…It is also important to consider the likely dynamic nature of motor skills and behaviour. Given that the development of gross motor skills in school-aged children is mediated by interaction with peers in games and play, adequate motor skills are likely to be important, particularly given that it has been reported that inability to participate in such activities may have a detrimental effect on social development and well-being (Jarus, Lourie-Gelberg, Engel-Yeger, & Bart, 2011;Raz-Silbiger et al, 2015;Van der Linde et al, 2015;Wagner, Bös, Jascenoka, Jekauc, & Petermann, 2012) .…”

To date, very few studies have explored the incidence of motor impairment amongst children with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (SEMH; formerly SEBD in England following DfE / DoH, 2014). Following research that suggests an increase in motor difficulties in young children and adolescents with SEMH difficulties, this study compares profiles of motor ability using the Movement ABC-2 assessment in children attending a specialist SEMH primary school with a typically developing comparison group and children with a diagnosis of Developmental Co-ordination Disorder. We report an increased prevalence of borderline or clinically significant motor impairment amongst children with SEMH difficulties compared to the comparison group, with 44% of the SEMH special school sample falling within these ranges. We suggest that bearing in mind the increased likelihood for motor impairment is important in SEMH education, as it has likely impact on classroom functioning and ability and motivation to take part in socially and academically relevant activities.
