Coordination Difficulties

Coordination difficulties, also known as developmental coordination disorder (DCD), refer to difficulties in planning, organising, and carrying out physical movements. These challenges can impact a child’s ability to perform everyday tasks such as writing, tying shoelaces, fastening a button, catching a ball, running, or balancing. Coordination difficulties are not related to a lack of intelligence or a lack of effort, they stem from difficulties in how the brain and body work together to interpret instructions to perform physical tasks. These challenges can sometimes affect confidence and participation in play, school, social activities, and other activities of daily living.

"All the staff were really helpful and helped my daughter"

All the staff were really helpful and helped my daughter as she has really severe anxiety. They made what could have been very difficult appointments manageable, and kept Millie engaged during the sessions. Feedback was also excellent.

"Evolve was INCREDIBLY thorough"

We both agreed that we felt that our clinicians were very 'switched on' & actually listened to our concerns as parents. It was nice to finally be heard & believed that our youngest child was presenting with 'A, B, and C symptoms', because to that point in time, masking made it difficult for anyone in a professional capacity to assess our child accurately.

"Thorough and person-centred approach"

 I cannot thank the staff enough for their thorough and person-centred approach to assessment. The communication throughout has been brilliant and I'm very grateful that prompts were provided to the school when seeking clearer understanding of need as this helped develop a bigger picture.
