How does brain structure and function on MRI differ in children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental coordination disorder, and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?
Int J Dev Neurosci. 2022 Sep 9. doi: 10.1002/jdn.10228. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAIM: The purpose of this study was to systematically review the neural similarities and differences in brain structure and function, measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in children with neurodevelopmental disorders that commonly co-occur to understand if and how they have shared neuronal characteristics.METHOD: Using systematic review methodology, the following databases were comprehensively searched: MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, CENTRAL, PsycINFO, and ProQuest from the earliest record up to December 2021. Inclusion criteria were: (...

Moving With Confidence: How Does Anxiety Impede Performance in Individuals With Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD)?
AbstractPurpose of ReviewIt is well-established that anxiety levels are higher among people with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) compared to their peers. However, it is unclear whether this anxiety influences movement and behaviour. The purpose of this paper is to review studies demonstrating the influence of anxiety on movement and/or behaviour in non-DCD and DCD populations.Recent FindingsWhen considering non-DCD literature, many studies have illustrated the influence of anxiety on movement. Only two papers were found which explicitly aimed to consider the influence of anxiety on movement in a DCD population. T...

Developmental and mental health risks among siblings of patients with autism spectrum disorder: a nationwide study
AbstractStudies have suggested that unaffected siblings of patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have some other neurodevelopmental abnormalities. However, the risks of mental and developmental disorders have rarely been investigated among unaffected siblings. Using Taiwan ’s National Health Insurance Research Database, 1304 unaffected siblings born between 1980 and 2010 with ASD probands and 13,040 age-/sex-/family structure-matched controls were included in our study and followed up from 1996 or birth to the end of 2011. Developmental delay, language delay, develo pmental coordination disorder, attention-deficit...

An Investigation of Developmental Coordination Disorder Characteristics in Children With Childhood Apraxia of Speech
CONCLUSIONS: Consistent with previous research, the majority of participants demonstrated motor deficits and 85% met criteria for DCD. Despite this high rate of motor deficits, only 57% had previously undergone a physical/occupational therapy evaluation and intervention and only one had a previous diagnosis of DCD. These findings suggest that formal movement assessments are essential for children with a CAS diagnosis.SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.20540193.PMID:36041512 | DOI:10.1044/2022_LSHSS-21-00163 (Source: Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools)
