Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) is characterized by a marked deficit in the development of children's motor skills (gross and/or fine), with impact in the participation in typical activities of the childhood. Consequences of the disorder include restriction in social interaction and low sense of self-efficacy. Although occupational therapists are able to evaluate and treat children with this profile, they don't seem to know the importance of the sense of self-efficacy, as well as its assessment tools. In this way, this review points to the relation between the motor performance and the sense of efficacy of children with DCD in school age, as well as its possible implications for Occupational Therapy's practice.Downloads
