Clumsy for his age, and nothing else

Noah, aged 7, has persistent difficulty with tasks requiring motor coordination — tying his shoelaces, catching a ball, and handwriting are all markedly behind what would be expected for his age. His general intelligence is age-appropriate, he has had ample opportunity to practise these skills at home and at school, and a paediatric assessment found normal muscle tone, strength, and no neurological diagnosis.
