Developmental coordination disorder is marked with the hallmark characteristic feature of clumsiness. The current study aims in examining the visual motor integration and manual dexterity in Indian children’s with developmental coordination disorder. 20 children’s were included in the study and they were assessed with DCDQ, DSM-V Criteria, MABC-2 and Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration Sixth Edition (VMI). Children included in the study were of age group 7 to 11 years old. VMI scoring results declare that 15 children were having a below average performance in VMI and 20 children’s were reported to have difficulty in motor coordination. There is no statistically significant correlation found between MABC-2 and VMI domains. However there is a significant relation existed between MABC-2 and manual dexterity. From the current study results, it has been suggested that there is a need for a better assessment tool that combines both the domains and to interpret the difficulties faced by children in visual motor integration and manual dexterity. Further research should focus on the implications on the performance of children's daily activities.
