“…Moreover, discrepancy between observers' judgement based on visual information can also be explained by other motion features, such as motor smoothness and coordination. Gentle et al (2020) recently tracked the movement of two adults with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) and two healthy controls in a variety of everyday scenarios and presented the motion kinematics as a point-light-display to observers to report perceptions of the stimulus participant's social competencies. Results showed that participants with DCD were rated as having significantly lower social competence than co ntrols, highlighting that people use minimal information on movement fluency to evaluate others' social skills (Gentle et al, 2020).…”

Individuals with movement coordination difficulties produce jerkier motions, making non -verbal interactions rated as less "natural".…”

Individuals diagnosed with schizophrenia encounter significant challenges in their daily social interactions. These deficits emphasize neurocognitive disabilities, impaired social cognition, and stigma. However, social presentation especially public perception of patients’ social behavior has been poorly studied to date in this mental disorder despite the fundamental importance of first impression in human interaction. This study aims to investigate whether a schizophrenia patient leads to a lower first impression than a depressive individual and a healthy control when there is no diagnostic label, and on which features these first impressions are created. We extracted nonverbal behavioral measures from thin slice of social behaviour of the stimulus particip ants and presented audio and/or video clips to naive observers. We found that the general population had significantly more negative impressions and behavioral intentions to interact with the schizophrenia patient than the depressive and the control participant, regardless of the modality presented. As patients displayed a lower nonverbal behavioral, it suggests that social behavior drives first impression in schizophrenia. Such findings may lead to new ways of developing intervention program targeting motor nonverbal behavior, leading to reduce social rejection in these population.

Developmental coordination disorder (DCD/Dyspraxia) is a commonly misunderstood and under-recognized specific learning difficulty (SpLD) in educational settings. This lifelong condition affects fine and gross motor coordination and significantly interferes with many activities of daily living, academic achievement, and employment opportunities. However, most Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are unaware of its prevalence within their context, even though 5% of the general population have DCD and the enrolment of students in UK Higher Education with a known disability has increased by 42.4% between 2018 and 2023. Thus, understanding the lived experiences of students with DCD within Higher Education in the UK remains a considerable gap in knowledge. Through the use of focus groups, the lived experiences of 10 students with DCD at two UK HEIs were investigated. The thematic analysis identified four main themes: ‘Awareness of DCD’, ‘Participation in Higher Education for individuals with DCD’, ‘Wellbeing’, and ‘Everyday living’. Students shared that HEIs appeared to lack awareness of DCD and felt they had an inability to specify the correct support at university. Importantly, whilst the students in the study were not always confident in identifying the specific support they needed, they shared the strategies they used to aid their university experience. The students described the physical toll that many everyday living tasks can take, which subsequently negatively impact academic participation and wellbeing. On a positive note, many of the students discussed positive experiences at university, such as enjoying their own autonomy (and flexibility) to be independent and inform strategies for their own learning. Importantly, the findings from this work highlight the complexity and heterogeneity of DCD and the need for a tailored approach to supporting individuals with this condition. Given the importance of educational qualifications to enter the workplace, and the contribution of employment to quality of life, these findings help signpost areas where HEIs can improve the experiences of students with DCD that may also enhance academic success.
