The DCD Project

Dyspraxia, or as it is called in the research literature ‘developmental coordination disorder’ (DCD), is a condition affecting a broad range of movements in otherwise typically-developing children. These children, of course, grow up to be adults, who continue to find many daily activities challenging.

The DCD project is a collection of ongoing research projects in the Department of Public Health and Sports Science at the University of Exeter using immersive virtual reality (VR) to try and better understand dyspraxia and improve the ecosystem around this condition. 

If you (or your children) are dyspraxic and interested in taking part in research projects, please get in touch with Dr Gavin Buckingham, by email.
