The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) is a widely used and well-validated tool that contributes to the diagnosis of Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). The aim of this study was to further analyze the psychometric properties of the European Spanish cross-culturally adapted version of the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ-ES) in a sample of Spanish children aged 6-11 years and to establish reference norms with respect to age groups. Parents of 540 typically developing children completed the DCDQ-ES. A second sample of 30 children with probable DCD (pDCD) was used to test its discriminant validity. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original three-factor structure and the internal consistency was excellent (Cronbach's α = 0.907). Significant differences between age groups were found. The pDCD group scored significantly lower than the reference sample in the three subscales and DCDQ-ES total score ( < 0.001; AUC = 0.872). The DCDQ-ES is a reliable and valid tool for screening motor coordination difficulties in Spanish children and for identifying children with probable DCD. The findings of this research suggest that context-specific cut-off scores should be systematically utilized when using cross-cultural adaptations of the DCDQ. Age-specific cut-off scores for Spanish children are provided.
发展协调障碍问卷（DCDQ）是一种广泛使用且经过良好验证的工具，有助于发展协调障碍（DCD）的诊断。本研究的目的是进一步分析经欧洲西班牙语文化适应的发展协调障碍问卷（DCDQ-ES）在 6-11 岁西班牙儿童样本中的心理测量特性，并建立与年龄组相关的参考规范。540 名典型发育儿童的家长完成了 DCDQ-ES。第二个样本由 30 名可能患有 DCD（pDCD）的儿童组成，用于测试其判别有效性。验证性因素分析支持原始的三因素结构，内部一致性非常好（Cronbach 的 α=0.907）。在年龄组之间发现了显著差异。pDCD 组在三个分量表和 DCDQ-ES 总分上的得分明显低于参考样本（<0.001；AUC=0.872）。DCDQ-ES 是一种可靠且有效的工具，可用于筛查西班牙儿童的运动协调困难，并识别可能患有 DCD 的儿童。这项研究的结果表明，在使用 DCDQ 的跨文化适应时，应系统地使用特定于情境的截断分数。为西班牙儿童提供了特定年龄的截断分数。
