Loved sharing our findings on falls in adults and children with DCD. Great feedback all round. Hopefully the paper is published soon! #DCDUK25. Great talk from @djwright561 also!



Awesome first day at #DCDUK25! @EsselaarM smashed her talk on brain-muscle communication, and @Greg___Wood’s panel on advocacy was excellent.
