Abstract

The objective of the study was to verify which criteria for identifying Developmental Coordination Disorder can predict functionality in ADLs, in a sample of 52 children aged six to eight years old, 35 children with DCD and 17 without DCD. To identify children with DCD, the diagnostic criteria according to DSM-V were adopted, using the DCDQ and MABC-2 instruments. To assess functionality in ADLs, the DCDDaily-Q was used. There was a significant correlation between the DCDQ score and all subscales of the DCDDaily-Q and between the MABC-2 and these subscales. An association between the acquisition subscale and BDD (p=0.011). The DCDQ showed a significant correlation with only the “school” domain, in the “quality of performance” subscale, with an explanatory capacity of 23% (low). Manual dexterity had an explanatory capacity for the acquisition of ADLs of 19.8%, especially for self-care (16.1%) and school (17%) and throwing and receiving explained participation (17.2%) and performance (28.5%) in leisure. Children with worse performance on the DCDQ and MABC-2 had worse functionality in ADLs, considering the total sample, with children with DCD tending to take much longer to acquire ADLs. The DCDQ score showed explanatory capacity for functionality in ADLs, especially performance in school tasks. Manual dexterity explained the acquisition of self-care and school tasks, and throwing and receiving explained performance and participation in leisure. Keywords: Developmental Coordination Disorder. Activities of Daily Living. Functionality. Children.
