The playground can feel overwhelming for children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) also known as Dyspraxia. Climbing, jumping, running, and even simple coordination tasks may require significantly more effort compared to peers. With structured support, however, playground activities can become one of the most effective environments for improving motor skills and building confidence.
