A School Based Intervention Programme for Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder

Indicativo de transtorno do desenvolvimento da coordenação de escolares com idade entre 7 e 10 anos

“…Davis et al (2007) verificou que 9,5% das crianças investigadas, provenientes de escolas australianas, apresentaram indicativo de TDC, de acordo com os critérios do MABC-1. A maior parte dos estudos realizados em outros países apresenta valores de prevalência inferiores aos encontrados no presente estudo, pois variam de 4% a 8% em crianças de 5 a 12 anos (WRIGhT; SUGDEN, 1998;DEWEY;WILSON, 2001;ROSEMBAUM;JOhNSON, 2004;MIRANDA;CARDOSO, 2011). Esta estimativa foi confirmada por kadesjo e Gillberg (1999) em um estudo realizado na Suécia, onde se verificou que 4,9% dos participantes possuíam DCD grave e 8,6% possuíam DCD moderada, bem como em Cairney et al (2005), cuja pesquisa realizada com 564 crianças canadenses apurou um percentual de 7,5% de DCD.…”

“…Na maior parte dos estudos analisados, verificou-se uma razão de dois meninos para cada menina (WRIGhT; SUGDEN, 1998;MCkENZIE, 1998;DEWEY;WILSON, 2001). Verificou-se, ainda, proporções maiores de meninos com distúrbios motores, com relação às meninas, variando de 4:1 a 7:1 (kADESJO; GILLBERG, 1999).…”

The Development of the Manchester Motor Skills Assessment (MMSA): An initial evaluation

“…However, a study by Wright and Sugden (1998) did systematically evaluate one school-based intervention. Eighteen children were selected for involvement in the research using the M-ABC.…”

Supporting children with motor skills difficulties: an initial evaluation of the Manchester Motor Skills Programme

“…The evidence base for this approach is growing; small-scale studies have shown that the CO-OP approach can help children aged 7-12 years to learn or improve a problem solving approach (Sangster, Beninger, Polatajko, & Mandich, 2005). Wright and Sugden (1998) and Sugden and Chambers (2003) have also used a cognitive motor approach in schools. The researchers took the lead in planning individualised movement interventions for children with DCD.…”

“…The MMSP has been developed jointly by educational psychologists (EPs), specialist teachers and schools and draws upon current knowledge in relation to motor skill interventions. Following on from the work of Wright and Sugden (1998) and Sugden and Chambers (2005) the MMSP adopts a broadly cognitive motor approach to intervention, which focuses on direct skills teaching, adaptation and task analysis. The framework provided by Henderson and Sugden (1992) in the M-ABC manual has been informative in the development of the programme.…”
