Supporting a child with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) can be a challenging journey for any parent. While professional therapy plays a critical role, home-based support is just as important for reinforcing progress and encouraging consistency. Fortunately, platforms like WonderTree’s online games for DCD make it easier than ever for parents to create a structured and fun therapeutic environment at home.
Why Home Support Matters
Therapy sessions typically occur only a few times a week. The rest of the time, children need continuous opportunities to practice motor skills. That’s where home support comes in—not as a replacement for therapy, but as a valuable extension of it.
When therapy activities are built into a child’s everyday routine, it helps them develop habits, retain progress, and improve faster.
Getting Started with WonderTree
WonderTree uses motion-based games that work with a regular webcam. Setup is quick, and no complex hardware is required. Once set up, your child can use their body movements to interact with the games, improving coordination, control, and cognitive skills—all while having fun.
The games are designed by therapists, which means every action has purpose, even if your child sees it as just playing.
Making the Most of the Experience
Here are a few tips for parents to get the best results:
- Set a schedule: Consistency helps. Even 15–20 minutes a day can lead to meaningful progress.
- Create a distraction-free space: Ensure your child can move freely and focus on the game.
- Celebrate small wins: Encourage your child and recognize their progress. Positive reinforcement goes a long way.
- Monitor and support: WonderTree provides progress tracking so you can monitor how your child is improving over time.
A Powerful Tool in Your Hands
What makes WonderTree unique is that it empowers parents. You don’t need to be an expert to support your child effectively. With interactive, easy-to-use games and progress tracking, WonderTree helps bridge the gap between clinical therapy and real-life practice—right from your living room.
By turning therapy into play, WonderTree’s online games for DCD are helping parents all over the world support their children’s development in a more joyful, consistent, and effective way.
