The effects of a water activities programme on the motor proficiency of children with developmental coordination disorder
(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 1997) Braun, Carolyn Renate; Bressan, E. S.; Stellenbosch University. Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences. Dept. of biomedical Sciences.
To reach adulthood, children need to grow and develop, one of the most important aspects is the development of adequate motor coordination. When difficulties are experienced and this development does not take place it gives rise to many problems. Not only motor difficulties, but also other social, emotional, behavioural and educational problems. The child experiences difficulties with his class work and life on the playground and during physical education lessons can also become very traumatic. If the problem can be identified in the early stages of the child's' education and the appropriate steps are taken to initiate remedial work, the potential to improve or even overcome the disability is there, but first the problems need to be recognized for what they are.
