Resumo: | The term developmental coordination Disorder (DCD) is still new in Brazil and most of the children with this type of problems are not diagnosed. Motor coordination difficulties usually are observed at school, and although complaints about children with handwriting problems or motor awkwardness are quite common, these difficulties are not identified as a problem that deserves special attention. The objective of this study was to examine the frequency and in which activities do teachers observe motor coordination problems among children ages 4 to 8 years old. A simple questionnaire, with direct questions, was sent to schools of the metropolitan region of Belo Horizonte. Data from 288 questionnaires, 148 from teachers of public schools and 140 from private schools, were analyzed descriptively. The majority of the teachers, 88% from the public schools and 79% from the private ones, reported that they usually observe one or two students with motor coordination problems in each class they teach, which resulted in an overall estimate of 18,6% children with some sort of motor difficulty. This result exceeds the 6% reported in the international literature; therefore, it is important to invest in epidemiological studies and in the correct identification of DCD among the Brazilian children. |

O termo transtorno do desenvolvimento da coordenação (TDC) ainda é pouco usado no Brasil e a maioria das crianças com esse tipo de problema não é diagnosticada. As dificuldades de coordenação motora geralmente são evidenciadas na escola e, embora queixas de crianças com problemas de escrita ou lentidão motora sejam comuns, essas dificuldades não são identificadas como uma questão que merece atenção especial. O objetivo deste estudo foi examinar a freqüência e as atividades nas quais professores observam dificuldades de coordenação motora em crianças de 4 a 8 anos de idade. Um questionário simples, com questões fechadas, foi enviado a escolas da região metropolitana de Belo Horizonte. Dados de 288 questionários, sendo 148 de professores da rede Municipal e 140 de escolas particulares, foram analisados descritivamente. A maioria dos professores, 88% nas escolas Municipais e 79% nas particulares, indicaram que geralmente observam problemas de coordenação em um a dois alunos em cada classe, o que resultou na estimativa de 18,6% de crianças com algum tipo de dificuldade motora. Estes dados superam os 6% reportados na literatura internacional, sendo importante investir em estudos epidemiológicos e na identificação correta do TDC em crianças brasileiras.
