Brief summary: The aim of the study is to examine the effect of VR application on motor, cognitive and sensory-perceptual skills, and activity and participation levels in children with DCD.

The hypotheses on which the study proposal is based are as follows:

1. H0: VR application has no effect on motor skills in children with DCD. H1: VR application has an effect on motor skills in children with DCD.
2. H0: VR application has no effect on cognitive skills in children with DCD. H1: VR application has an effect on cognitive skills in children with DCD.
3. H0: VR application has no effect on sensory-perception skills in children with DCD.

   H1: VR application has an effect on sensory-perception skills in children with DCD.
4. H0: VR application has no effect on the functional independence levels in daily living activities in children with DCD.

   H1: VR application has an effect on the functional independence levels in daily living activities in children with DCD.
5. H0: VR application has no effect on participation levels in children with DCD. H1: VR application has an effect on participation levels in children with DCD.

Detailed description: Within the scope of our aims;

* To determine the gross motor skill levels of children with DCD and to obtain the effect of VR application on gross motor skill levels.
* To determine the executive function skill levels of children with DCD and to obtain the effect of VR application on executive function skill levels.
* To determine the sensory-perception skill levels of children with DCD and to obtain the effect of VR application on sensory-perception skill levels.
* To determine the functional independence of children with DCD in daily life and to obtain the effect of VR application on their functional independence levels.
* It is aimed to determine the participation levels of children with DCD and to obtain the effect of VR application on their participation levels.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Being between 5-8 years old,
* It is to get 15-46 points from the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire for ages 5-7 and 15-55 points for ages 8.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Those who are receiving any other therapy program,
* have vision (other than glasses) or hearing problems,
* Children with any neurological disorder will not be included in the study.
