Introduction: To increase the effectiveness of physical therapy sessions in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), it is important to know which motor teaching principles are currently used in clinical practice. The first aim of this study was to update the Motor Teaching Principles Taxonomy (MTPT) and to measure the reliability of the modified taxonomy (m-MTPT). The second aim was to investigate which instruction principles are actually used in therapy sessions of children with DCD. Methods: To update the taxonomy an item generation approach was used which consisted of a literature review, two interviews with pediatric physical therapists, the analysis of existing videos of therapy sessions of children with DCD and a Delphi-study. One or two therapy sessions of eleven children, diagnosed with DCD (5–11 years), were videotaped. The participants were treated by six pediatric physical therapists. The videos were rated by two observers using the m-MTPT. The intraclass correlation was calculated to determine the intra-rater reliability and interrater reliability of the instruction part of the m-MTPT. Results: For both raters, the intra-rater reliability was moderate to good for most items of the instruction part of the m-MTPT, except for one item. The interrater reliability was moderate to good for six of fourteen items of the instruction part of the m-MTPT. Two of the fourteen forms of instruction were not observed in the videotaped therapy sessions, respectively ‘another child demonstrates the exercise’ and ‘the therapists asks the child to imagine how to execute the exercise’. Conclusion: The results suggested that most of the instruction teaching principles included in the m-MTPT could be observed in clinical practice. Further research is needed to improve the reliability of the items of the m-MTPT with a poor interrater reliability.
