ABSTRACT
Introduction: Motor coordination has great significance in the development of basic motor skills and in the development of the child. Developmental coordination disorder is a common but under-recognized neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a diminished ability to acquire and execute quality coordinated motor skills.Objective: To characterize the knowledge and previous experiences of teachers on important aspects of motor coordination to facilitate the accurate and timely diagnosis of developmental coordination disorder.
Method: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out by the Ecuadorian Federation of Sports for People with Visual Impairment.
Results:v Developmental coordination disorder and its related terms were among the least well-known childhood disorders. Approximately half of the sample was familiar with the term but they were more familiar with the term dyspraxia and dyslexia. Slight recognition of the social and psychological aspects, which are effects of the developmental coordination disorder, was shown. Most participants believed that they had a role to play in identifying early warnings of signs of this disorder.
Conclusions: The inability to identify some of the features of neurological diseases was proved. Therefore, it is necessary for teachers on the early level of education to have a greater knowledge of motor development skills to guarantee an adequate management of the motor coordination and its impairments, which indicate some neurological dysfunction or disease.
