Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)

DCD causes the brain to be inefficient in passing messages around the body. This
can result in poorly coordinated movements, problems with planning, and difficulties
in processing language and thoughts.

Single movements or tasks may be done well, but it is harder for the individual
to coordinate several different movements or tasks, especially when there is
a time pressure.
