    To systematically review published research literature to identify and evaluate the
    effectiveness of perceptual motor training on improvement in motor performance in individuals
    with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). Methods: Multiple databases were
    methodically searched for articles related to Developmental Coordination Disorder; only
    descriptive, intervention or qualitative articles were retained. Results: A generalized performance
    deficit may be observed in majority of the children with DCD. Pronounced difficulty in internal
    (forward) modeling, rhythmic coordination, executive function, gait and postural control, catching
    and interceptive action, and aspects of sensoriperceptual function were observed in most of the
    individuals diagnosed with DCD. Research indicates that poor motor co-ordination has far-reaching
    implications for social and emotional wellbeing. DCD occurs not only in children, as motor
    difficulties are retained in adulthood. Conclusions: The perceptual motor training approach may
    result in positive outcomes in motor performance in individuals with DCD. Cognitive orientation to
    daily occupational performance was observed to be a superior alternative to contemporary
    coordination treatment approach. Furthermore, psychomotor therapy placing emphasis on music
    rhythm and sensory integration therapy was observed to have a sustainably facilitative impact.
