Ophélie A. Desmet; Tania Gevaert; F. Richard Olenchak
Roeper Review, v46 n2 p120-130 2024
Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), also known as Dyspraxia, is an often overlooked or misdiagnosed disorder and little research exists on how it manifests among cognitively gifted children. The purpose of this study was to examine clinical profiles among 25 children diagnosed with DCD and identified as cognitively gifted to explore the twice exceptional profile of DCD among gifted children. We explore how DCD manifests among children with cognitive gifts, considerations for identification, and gifted education services.
