Developmental Coordination Disorder involves all EXCEPT:

• A. Poor posture
• B. Inability to improve at motor skills
• C. Coordination problems
• D. Ability to improve at motor skills

Answer: (D)

Developmental Coordination Disorder shows up as difficulties with planning and executing coordinated movements, which often leads to awkward, clumsy movements and poor balance. These motor control problems can manifest as poor posture and coordination in daily tasks such as dressing, writing, or participating in sports. A hallmark is trouble learning and refining new motor skills, with practice often yielding slower or incomplete improvement. The statement about being able to improve at motor skills does not fit this pattern, since DCD is characterized by challenges with motor coordination and often limited improvement with practice rather than a natural ability to master skills quickly.
