Impaired Toilet Training, LUTS and Bowel Dysfunction in Children With DCD
This study looks at whether children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) have more difficulty with toilet training and bladder/bowel control compared to children without DCD. Researchers will compare how often these problems occur in both groups of children to better understand if DCD affects these skills.
Key Objective: This research may help identify whether children with DCD need extra support or specialized approaches for toilet training and managing bladder and bowel function.
Who to Consider: Parents of children with DCD or those concerned about their child's coordination difficulties and toilet training challenges should consider participating in this study.
