RAZVOJNI POREMEĆAJ KOORDINACIJE- IMPLIKACIJE NA ŠKOLSKU PRAKSU

The Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is a neurological disorder, or a movement disorder (the idea process, motor planning and execution of movement). DCD affects everyday skills and school achievements. High prevalence (5-8%) points out that in every class or kindergarten group one child/pupil can be expected with this problem. Today, the DSM-V classification (four criteria) is used for establishing diagnosis of this disorder. According to this statistical manual, the DCD is diagnosed if the performance of motor skills is below the chronological age, hinders everyday activities, the beginning is in the developmental period and the motor deficit cannot be explained by some other damage (e.g. cerebral paralysis). The DCD's etiology is multifactorial. Pupils with DCD encounter most problems in physical education, language education (Serbian language) and mathematics. They come across numerous difficulties starting from the problem of preparation for class, participation in competitive games, through reading, writing and calculation. The basis of these difficulties lies in the problem of motor learning. Therefore, it is important to use appropriate strategies in work with these pupils. Timely treatment and application of appropriate methods and strategies can influence the further course and outcome of this developmental disorder.
