Perception of Affordances in Children with and without developmental coordination disorder

Status: Recruiting

This study looks at perceptual abilities in healthy children and children with significant movement difficulties, a condition called developmental coordination disorder (DCD). The study involves a single session of using virtual reality (VR) to look at catching skills. This will help us to better understand movement difficulties in children so we can design programs to support them.
