Abstrakt/ Abstract: This study examines the development and assessment of motor coordination in preschool children with dyspraxia. A total of 110 children participated in four motor tasks assessing distance estimation, movement accuracy, balance, and mobility. Performance was rated using a five-point ordinal scale, with higher scores indicating greater difficulty. Descriptive analysis revealed variability in performance across different domains: accuracy showed generally high scores, while balance and mobility presented greater challenges. Chi-square goodness-of-fit tests confirmed statistically significant differences in the distribution of scores between tasks (p < 0.001). Findings indicate that motor coordination develops unevenly in children with dyspraxia, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in specific skill areas. These results have practical implications for early screening and targeted intervention, supporting individualized approaches to enhance motor learning and prevent long-term difficulties in daily activities and school tasks.
