The teacher is able to accurately assess the movement performance of each child and then choose, design, personalize and evaluate the educational activities experienced by the students participating in the lesson. All students can improve as individuals and achieve their personal goals in the Physical Education class if the teacher adapts the Educational Activities to their abilities! The adaptation will result in the movement evolution of ALL students, while enabling them to interact positively, develop self-confidence, and acquire the desired knowledge and attitudes.

Abstract
This chapter presents a case study related to the development of an in-school framework that is concerned with the identification, assessment and interventional management of children with developmental coordination disorder and motor learning disabilities. The aim was to use reliable and tested procedures of identification and assessment as well as to adopt teaching methodologies that discover, reveal and use the individual characteristics of each child to reduce the limitations and to make in-school movement situations accessible to all students. The initial goal was not necessarily the immediate improvement of motor dexterity of the child, but the improvement of the psychological and socio-affective.
