The aims of this study were to identify sensory processing profiles specific preschoolers with DCD in a community sample and examine the association problems motor coordination difficulties these children. Sixty-three 5-year-old children without other neurodevelopmental disorders 106 age-matched typically developing participated study. Sensory assessed using Profile. Our results demonstrated wide patterns (low registration, sensitivity avoiding) areas (auditory, vestibular, touch oral) compared Additionally, (sensitivity (touch auditory) identified alone. findings indicate that abnormalities may contribute pathophysiology DCD, suggesting importance assessing functions DCD.
