“…They found that total social comparison scores positively associated with total self-esteem scores and negatively associated with reported levels of depression (Dagnan and Sandhu 1999). Literature beyond the Dagnan and Sandhu study focused on self-esteem for those with physical disabilities (see Jemtå et al 2009;Manuel et al 2003;Miyahara and Piek 2006).…”

Adolescents with disabilities face many challenges common to their typically developing peers. However, the ways that they resolve them may differ. The focus of this narrative overview was to summarize results from the disabilities in adolescence literature, highlight common research directions, evaluate the overall big picture of this literature, and draw conclusions based on general interpretations. Evidence suggests that the literature in this field of study is lacking. Suggestions for improvement include increasing the number of studies that focus specifically on adolescence across the various types of disabilities, establishing a theoretical base to anchor research, forming cohesion across disabilities among researchers, and taking a comprehensive approach to intervention studies. By addressing these issues in future research, scholarly knowledge will be increased, but more importantly, the lives of young people with disabilities can be greatly enhanced.

“…There may also be accompanying difficulties in academic (Alloway 2007;Dewey et al 2000), social (Smyth and Anderson 2000) and emotional Rigoli et al 2012) functioning. For instance, children with DCD have been found to withdraw and avoid motor activities (e.g., Mandich et al 2003), have poorer selfperceptions and self-worth (e.g., Miyahara and Piek 2006;Rose et al 1997;Skinner and Piek 2001), and are more likely to have higher levels of anxiety (Pearsall-Jones et al 2011;Skinner and Piek 2001) and depression , even in preschool children as young as 4 years of age . Furthermore, longitudinal studies have identified a relationship between early motor ability on later cognitive (e.g., Murray et al 2006;, academic (e.g., Kurdek and Sinclair 2001), and emotional (e.g., Sigurdsson et al 2002) outcomes.…”

“…Motor milestones such as crawling and walking may be delayed, while some children show marked hypotonia and/or clumsiness (Green et al 2008;Wilson and Larkin 2008). The motor problems lead to difficulties in everyday living and often have an effect on academic performance, sports, play and self-esteem (Cummins et al 2005;Polatajko and Cantin 2005;Miyahara and Piek 2006;Piek et al 2008). …”

Objectives:Motor coordination problems are frequent in children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We performed the first genome-wide association study to identify genes contributing to motor coordination problems, hypothesizing that the presence of such problems in children with ADHD may identify a sample of reduced genetic heterogeneity. Methods:Children with ADHD from the International Multicentre ADHD Genetic study (IMAGE) study were evaluated with the Parental Account of Children's Symptoms. Genetic association testing was performed in PLINK on 890 probands with genome-wide genotyping data. Bioinformatics enrichment-analysis was performed on highly ranked findings. Further characterization of the findings was conducted in 313 Dutch IMAGE children using the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCD-Q). Results:Although none of the findings reached genome-wide significance, bioinformatics analysis of the topranked findings revealed enrichment of genes involved in motor neuropathy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). Genes involved in neurite outgrowth and basic muscle function were also enriched.Among the highest ranked genes were MAP2K5, involved in Restless Legs Syndrome, and CHD6, causing motor coordination problems in mice. Further characterization of the top-ranked findings using DCD-Q subscales found nominal association for 15 SNPs. Conclusions:Our findings provide clues about the etiology of motor coordination problems, but replication studies in independent samples are necessary.
