The Purpose of this study was to analysis of development-disorder infant's drawing focusing on their drawing's developmental stages, preferred colors, and number of color. First, with regard to stages of development in drawings based on sex and age, I came to know that most infants with development disorders are in the scribing stage, which is the first stage of the 6 stages on development in drawings that V. Lowenfeld crafted for infants. And, it was also found that female infants are relatively in higher stages than their male counterparts in terms of development in drawings. Along with this, though individual differences in the development are stark based on the severity of disorders, infants with development disorders also show progress in drawings as they grow older, and I could see that to some extent, they are able to express their emotions more freely. Second, I studied whether colors they like are different according to sex and age. I found out that male infants with development disorders prefer a black color the most, and female infants like a green color the most, showing that male and female infants with development disorders have different color preferences. In addition, it turned out that those who are at 4 like orange, reddish brown and black colors the most, and infants of 5 years old prefer a yellow color the most. Many people have conducted research on color preferences, and they are showing much different views on this matter. Third, regarding whether there are differences in the number of colors they use according to sex and age, a lot of male infants drew pictures using one color, and in the case of female infants, many of them used two kinds of colors. For infants with development disorders, I could see that the number of colors they used according to sex has statistical importance. Infants with development disorders of 4 years old turned out to use two colors when they draw pictures, and in the case of those who are at 5, many of them used one color. For infants with development disorders, the number of colors they use based on age has no statistical importance.
