Differential Diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder
Sensory Processing Difficulties, Joint Hypermobility, ADHD or Just Clumsiness
How do you know if it is DCD and not another similar diagnosis? Knowing your client’s real diagnosis can help you provide the most effective interventions. In this course, attendees will learn a strategy and decision-making algorithms to decide whether a client has Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) or another related condition or impairment, such as ADHD, Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), Joint Hypermobility, or just simply clumsy. She will utilize case studies to demonstrate the clinical reasoning process to determine the right diagnosis and provision of the appropriate intervention approaches. Closed Captioned in English
