Methodology: A quasi- experimental study was done in pre and post test type on 30 samples with age group of 8– 13 years children with Developmental coordination disorder for the duration of six weeks. The vestibular rehabilitation therapy was used as the intervention for the improvement of balance and the prevention of falls.
