The prevalence of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is concerning. The DCD affects around 18% of Brazilian children, with an additional 15% considered to be at risk for the condition ( American Psychiatric Association, 2013 ; Valentini, Clark, & Whitall, 2014 ). The DCD is a substantial
Validation of a Backswing Developmental Sequence for the Overarm Throw for Force
Bradley Beseler, Kathleen Williams, and Mandy S. Plumb
Developmental changes in movement components of the overarm throw for force have been extensively examined for over 40 years ( Halverson, Roberton, & Langendorfer, 1982 ; Roberton, 1977 ; Roberton, 1978a , 1978b ; Roberton, Halverson, Langendorfer, & Williams, 1979 ). Much of the work
Experiences in Physical Education for Children at Risk for Developmental Coordination Disorder
Chantelle Zimmer, Janice Causgrove Dunn, and Nicholas L. Holt
Approximately 5–6% of school-age children are diagnosed with developmental coordination disorder (DCD; American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013 ). They experience substantial and persistent difficulties in learning and performing coordinated motor skills starting in early childhood, which

or at-risk or delayed motor development could result in some children missing out on needed early childhood services. It is important to note that the threshold for determining whether children are at-risk for developmental delay has varied. The ≤5th percentile is generally agreed upon as the lower

Developmental Considerations for Coaching Youth Athletes Coaches often find themselves instructing athletes at varying ages and levels of ability and are therefore responsible for the provision of age-appropriate coaching across multiple stages of development ( Côté & Gilbert, 2009 ). In their Developmental
Subtypes of Developmental Coordination Disorder
Deborah Hoare
Although the heterogeneity of children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) has been well documented, the search for subtypes within the DCD population with distinguishable profiles has been limited. The present study investigated whether a group of 80 children identified as having DCD could be classified into subtypes based on their performances on six perceptuo-motor tasks. Five clusters were identified and are discussed in terms of current understanding of DCD. This exploratory study supports the notion of heterogeneity within DCD samples, with five patterns of dysfunction emerging.

To give the reader a sense of what it means to be a developmentalist, I will start with a backdrop that forms the basis of my scientific perspective and research work. Years ago, I created a
