Abstract
This paper discusses the focus of the special edition on emerging adulthood in DCD and how the different papers present the
increasing awareness not only of the disorder but the continuation of difficulties into adulthood. It highlights the varying
presentation at this stage and the impact these difficulties have on quality of life. Finally, it calls for further research
to be undertaken to increase the understanding of DCD for both clinicians and researchers.
