Developmental Coordination Disorder

One of our OTs on staff recommended these handouts on Developmental Coordination Disorder--lots of interesting ideas to use for students who seem to match the characteristics of this diagnosis, as well as students with similar needs:

Hi, I love your blog. So many times as a school OT, I feel like I get stuck in a rut with my treatment ideas, but you have given me much inspiration! On a different note, for some reason I can't pull up the links on developmental coordination disorder...
