Ever heard of such a Syndrome? Not me. It sounds so strange.
As kids grow up and learn how to manipulate their gross motor skills, they learn how to move around. Some kids are just more clumsy than others. But should there be any concern?
"CCS is obviously more than a child's striking out in a baseball game or every once in a while tripping over his or her own feet- it is about a pervasive and negatively impacting lack of coordination."
"Also known as DD or DCD (developmental coordination disorder) or, as the DSM calls it, specific developmental disorder of motor function, CSS is a learning disorder (different than an LD, learning disability) that involves the involves the impairment of movement, although it can involve language, spatial, and thought problems as well. It is often considered a closely related disorder to SID (sensory integration disorder) and NLD (nonverbal learning disorder) and its often diagnosed as such, or vice versa.
Dyspraxia, which is the defining characteristic of CCS, is the difficulty with the entire sequence of a sensory-motor task from initiating it, planing it out, and then carrying it out."
