ABSTRACT Objective To provide a snapshot of the availability and accessibility of cognitive assessment in Australia to identify relative areas of strength, as well as opportunities for improvement in service delivery. Method An anonymous survey was completed by 241 clinicians who self-identified as conducting cognitive assessments in Australia between 6 June 2023 to 11 August 2023. These clinicians completed a 27-item online questionnaire asking about their clinical practice.

1 Introduction Children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD) exhibit clinically significant difficulties with fine and gross motor skills in the absence of an identifiable medical or neurological condition (American Psychiatric Association 2013). Recent estimates suggest that the disorder affects approximately 5% of children (Li et al. 2024).

EEG acquisition and data pre-processing EEG data were recorded from 64 Ag-AgCl electrodes embedded into an elastic cap (TMSi, Oldenzaal, The Netherlands) using a TMSi RefA amplifier (TMSi, Oldenzaal, The Netherlands). The electrodes were positioned according to the 10-10 system. EEG was acquired at 2048 Hz using no online filters. During data acquisition, a common average reference was used with electrode AFz serving as the ground.
