About this trial
This randomized clinical trial investigates the effects of animal fun program on motor skills in children with developmental coordination disorder. The study involves 40 children from normal school age group 6 to 12 year old, who will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups for a six-week intervention period. Key performance outcomes
-body management truck control, locomotion, balance ,object control,body sequencing social and emotional control will be assessed both before and after the intervention.This study aims to address this gap by evaluating the effects of the Animal Fun Program on both fine and gross motor activity levels in children diagnosed with DCD. By examining objective motor outcomes and child engagement, the study seeks to determine whether this novel, enjoyable intervention can enhance traditional therapy methods, leading to improved motor development and overall quality of life for children with DCD. Data will be analyzed through SPSS version 27.00.

DCDQ'07
The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire 2007 (DCDQ'07) is a questionnaire for parents aiming at identifying subtle motor problems in children aged 8 to 14 years 6 months. The questionnaire consists of 15 items divided into three factors: Control during movement, Fine motor and handwriting, and General coordination. Although the DCDQ'07 is a reliable and valid instrument it cannot by itself be used to identify DCD.

Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-version 2 Short Form (BOT-2SF).
). Motor performance was measured using the BOT-2SF. The long version, described as the most widely used test of motor proficiency it contains 53 items, whereas the short form has 14 items. As the long form takes at least 40- 60 minutes to administer, the short form was chosen for this study, given the young 7 age of the children. The long form has excellent test-retest and inter-rater reliability. Although few studies have examined the psychometric properties of the short form, the inter-rater reliability to be greater than 0.90, test-retest reliability was greater than 0.80, and internal consistency as generally acceptable (\> .80), although at ages 4 and 8 years, correlations ranged from 60 to .92 60 to .92 ). Motor performance was measured using the BOT-2SF. The long version, described as the most widely used test of motor proficiency it contains 53 items, whereas the short form has 14 items.
