Abstract
In this commentary, we note the lack of using a dynamic systems perspective on the study of developmental coordination disorder even though the former has been used for the study of motor development. We suggest re-considering this approach partly because it addresses both development and coordination under a unified framework. Specifically, we describe concepts that highlight the importance of (a) longitudinal studies, (b) a need to better define specific tasks at different levels of analysis, and (c) the need to identify relevant constraints that may contribute to the emergence of developmental coordination disorder and therefore may be targets for treatment.
