Background and Aim: Developmental coordination disorder causes difficulties in children's motor development. Therefore, the present study was conducted with the aim of determining the effectiveness of task manipulation on motor development in children with developmental coordination disorder. Methods: This study in terms of purpose was practical and in terms of implementation method was semi-experimental with a pre-test, post-test and four-week follow-up design with experimental and control groups. The statistical population of this study was all exceptional students with developmental coordination disorder in Urmia Township in the 2021-2 academic years. The sample of the study was 30 people who were selected based on the inclusion criteria with the purposive sampling method and were replaced by a simple random method with the help of lottery in two equal groups including experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group was underwent to the intervention of task manipulation skills for 8 weeks and two 50-minute sessions every week, and during this period the control group trained with traditional method. The data were collected with the second edition of Ulrich's gross motor development test (2016) and analyzed with the methods of analysis variance with repeated measures and Bonferroni post hoc test in SPSS version 22 software at a significance level of 0.05. Results: The findings showed that there was a significant difference between children with developmental coordination disorder in the experimental and control groups in the post-test and follow-up stages in terms of all subscales of motor development including hitting with a baton, dribbling, receiving, hitting with the foot, throwing overhead and rolling. In the other words, the task manipulation skills training increased hitting with a baton, dribbling, receiving, hitting with the foot, throwing overhead and rolling in children with developmental coordination disorder, and the results remained in the follow-up phase (P<0.05). Conclusion: According to the results of the present study can be used the task manipulation skills training method along with other effective training methods to improve the motor development of children with developmental coordination disorder
