Pratt, Michelle L.; Hill, Elisabeth L. – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Previous work has highlighted that children diagnosed with DCD may be at risk of greater problems related to emotional wellbeing. However, to date much work has relied on population based samples, and anxiety has not been examined within a group of children given a clinical diagnosis of DCD. Additionally, the profile of individual differences has…
