Introduction& Purpose: Developmental Coordination Disorder is a Heterogeneous Disorder. The Purpose of this study was to determine the effect of Wii Fit training on metacognitive characteristics of children with developmental coordination disorder. Methodology: This was a applied and quasi-experimental study. The statistical population included male children (7-12 years old) with developmental coordination disorder living in Rafsanjan in 2018. Among them 30 children were conveniently recruited and randomly divided into two groups: experimental and control group (15 per each group). Then the experimental group was equipped for 16 sessions (2 months and 2 sessions per week) and each session was 55 minutes in a well-equipped environment, with vigor and supervised by a medical expert to prevent the injuries of the subjects. The metacognitive questionnaire (MCQ-C) was used to assess metacognitive skills. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used for normality of the data and the covariance analysis was used to compare the groups. Results: The results showed that Wii Fit training had a significant effect on the improvement of meta-cognitive characteristics in children with developmental coordination disorder (P˂0.05). Conclusion: In general, using Wii Fit training to help people with developmental coordination disorder is likely to improve the vital aspect of psychological functioning.
