Developmental coordination disorder is marked by difficulty in motor coordination, while performing variety of activities of daily living skills. Child is suspected as having developmental coordination disorder, if the IQ of the child is greater than 80 and he/she should be free from any neurological or medical condition as diagnosis. Rating of performance of the motor coordination task done by children with DCD is considerably poor and it is marked below their capability in relation to their chronological age and intelligence. Child with DCD faces difficulty in executing motor task which is easily performed by other children of typical development. In the current study, verbal commands and actions used by the therapist, who treats and aims to enhance the motor learning skill among children with developmental coordination disorder is compared with the therapist who provides feedback training to enhance the motor coordination skill to children with DCD. During Neuromotor task training, special attention needs to be paid for the children to develop their skills. Through literature search it has been evident that, there are three categories through which motor learning can be developed for children with DCD. Giving adequate instructions, providing feedback and delivering adequate knowledge can enhance the motor coordination skill for children. Therapist gives frequent verbal instructions in group A and others in group B children’s were given feedback instead of verbal instructions. It has been concluded that both the teaching principle vary as because the child related characteristics varies among the children with DCD. Further studies are needed to examine in detail whether the interaction between the therapist and child will have an added effects on the intervention process.
