Abstract
Objectives: The objectives of this study were to find out the effects of vestibular stimulation in developmental coordination disorder (DCD) children.
 Methodology: Thirty children (n=30) were screened using the DCD questionnaire (DCDQ). After baseline screening among the 30 children, 15 were confirmed as suspects of DCD. Vestibular stimulation was given for all the 15 children.
 Results: It is revealed that the motor coordination was improved significantly in children with DCD.
 Conclusion: The present study concluded that vestibular stimulation is effective to enhance performance in tasks requiring motor coordination.
Highlights
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) impacts motor activity and affects nearly 6.7% of Indian children and affects the person’s ability to communicate and interact with a peer group

Dr Ganapathy Sankar in his research on evaluation of balance skill in children with DCD, he has analyzed that there is an inability in performing a physical activity like the peer group children of the same age and they have a deficit in motor control and encounter imbalance when exposed to gait initiation in an unfamiliar environment [2]
Summary
Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) impacts motor activity and affects nearly 6.7% of Indian children and affects the person’s ability to communicate and interact with a peer group. DCD questionnaire (DCDQ) should be administered to screen children suspected to have DCD. These children experience difficulty in performing physical activity and social interactions. Dr Ganapathy Sankar in his research on evaluation of balance skill in children with DCD, he has analyzed that there is an inability in performing a physical activity like the peer group children of the same age and they have a deficit in motor control and encounter imbalance when exposed to gait initiation in an unfamiliar environment [2]
