How to involve children with motor skill difficulties
Children with motor skill difficulties are less active than their peers, both at sports clubs, during physical education classes and when playing outside in their neighbourhood. Would you like to know what you can do to involve and motivate them?
During this session, our specialist in physical activity behaviour, Hilde Krajenbrink, shared the latest insights from the research community on children with motor skill difficulties. Participants gained insight into what we know about their participation in sports and physical activities. Bert Steenbergen (Radboud University) and Johannes Noordstar (Wilhelmina Children’s Hospital), among others, then discussed, using cases involving children with motor skill difficulties, how to motivate and involve them during physical activity programmes and how to ensure that everyone has fun.

White paper on motor skill difficulties: The white paper Sports and physical activity for children with motor skill difficulties provides insight into the physical activity behaviour of children with motor skill difficulties and how you, as a professional, can encourage and support children with motor skill difficulties.
Enjoying sport: what does every child need?: Every week, more than two million children enjoy taking part in sports at school or at a sports club. Simply because they enjoy playing sports together, experiencing the excitement of a thrilling match or the feeling that they can do something. Unfortunately, not every child can participate.
