The link to an article published in RESEARCH IN DEVELOPMENTAL DISABILITIES · APRIL 2013 discusses recent research findings on the influence of Methylphenidate (a.k.a. Concerta and Ritalin) on motor performance and attention in children who have DCD and ADHD.
Influence of methylphenidate (Concerta, Ritalin) on motor performance and attention in children with developmental coordination disorder and attention deficit hyperactive disorder
I would like elaborate on why the focus of this site is primarily, but not exclusively, focused on children with DCD (developmental coordination disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder). DCD and ADHD are very often overlapping conditions. According to an article published April 2007 in the JRSM (Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine) a 40% overlap of ADHD and DCD was described. For your reference, you can find this JRSM article here - Children with developmental coordination disorders.
