Developmental Coordination Disorder vs. Oppositional Defiant Disorder Controlling Motor responses vs. Social responses Laura Capps
Case Study 1: Ken • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Q5FdzHaOuE • Second grade male • Often loses his temper, especially during reading • Argues with and defies adults • Strengths in art class • Diagnosed with ODD
Case Study 2: Emily • Second grade female • Rarely speaks but listens intently • Clumsy • Disruptive in P.E. class • Cries frequently • Hides from teacher • Diagnosed with DCD • Your turn!
Accommodations for Ken • Assess reading ability • Decoding and encoding • Use peers • Audiobooks • Redirection of response to others • Anger management • Self-monitoring • Videos of conflict resolution
Accommodations for Emily • Ensure safety in classroom • Eliminate sharp edges and corners • Monitor her handling of sharp objects • Fine Motor Skills • Simple games- “talking stick” • Simple clapping patterns • Musical instruments • P.E. • Map out actions before needing to perform them independently • Use Emily as an example • Step-by-step directions of movements and games
Commonalities • Social relationships with peers • Ken-responds aggressively • Emily-responds with avoidance • Accommodations • Work in small groups or pairs with extra teacher assistance • Teacher help to “encode relevant [social] cues” (Coy, Speltz, DeKlyen & Jones, 2000) • Frequent immersion in situations with social cues followed by explanation of cues
Conclusions • Both children have skill deficits that contribute to social deficits • Specific accommodations for their disability • Can benefit from developing healthy relationships with others • Teacher plays a role in improving both deficits in each child
