Table 2. Inclusion and exclusion criteria.

	Inclusion Criteria	Exclusion criteria
Sample	Children aged five to eighteen years with a diagnosis of DCD or probable DCD. Participants with DCD and a co-occurring specific learning difficulty or neurodevelopmental diagnosis such as ADHD will be included as co-occurrence is very common ( Blank et al., 2019). Participants must meet the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-V) criteria for DCD. Where children and young people are described as having probable DCD, the authors must outline how each criterion of the DSM-V was fulfilled:       1.    motor impairment scores below the 15 th             percentile on a standardised motor test;       2.    describe how the participants’ activities of             daily living are affected as a result of the motor skills             difficulties       3.    explain the participants cognitive ability and             confirm that it is within the normal intellectual ranges       4.    indicate that no underlying medical condition             is reported by parents, guardians, teachers or health             professionals. Studies examining parental and child experiences will be included, but it must be possible to extract data on the child and young person views and experiences of living with DCD.	Children younger than five years will be excluded as a diagnosis of DCD is not confirmed below five years of age ( Blank et al., 2019). Studies that include a sample of children and young people with a different diagnosis will be excluded if it is not possible to extract the views and experiences of children and young people wit DCD within such studies. Studies examining the opinions and experiences of parents of children with DCD will be excluded.
