Remarks y Participants in the studies included in the metaanalysis were children 5–12 years old. y Task-oriented instruction was defined by Miyahara et al. as an intervention that was described as task-oriented and a formally required practice of a specific task or occupation, including task-specific training, cognitive motor approaches, ecological intervention, neuromotor task training and cognitive orientation to daily occupational performance. y These approaches should be implemented in the context of broader strategies focused on promoting inclusive and enabling environments for all, including children and young people with development coordination disorders.

Implementation considerations y Interventions are likely to need a specialist provider. y Interventions should be adapted to mimic the students’ learning environments as closely as possible.
