Abstract: Objective: Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) experience difficulties performing fundamental movement skills, resulting in reduced physical activity (PA). Given low PA can impact mental and physical health, improving PA in DCD appears imperative. This study investigates the feasibility of a Facebook delivered, parent mediated, PA intervention for children with DCD. Methods: Parents of children with DCD (n=31; 5-11 years), were invited to private Facebook groups where physical activity resources and questionnaires were provided over 12 weeks. Parents and their children wore activity trackers during the intervention period. Feasibility and acceptability of the intervention was considered with reference to (1) Facebook engagement, (2) adherence intervention components, and (3) parent perspectives. Results: Facebook engagement was high, with 78.03% (SD=23.06) of all intervention posts being viewed by parents on average. Activity trackers were worn correctly for 92.45% of intervention days and 95.61% of intervention weeks. Weekly questionnaires were completed, on average, 84.37% of the time. Parent perspectives were positive, with 80.77% somewhat or strongly agreeing that the intervention was useful for themselves and their child. Conclusions: Given the results described, Facebook appears to be a feasible platform through which parent mediated physical activity interventions can be provided to children with DCD.
