Abstract

|
|
Objective : This study sought to investigate the effects of a sensory integration intervention focusing on vestibular and proprioceptive on the spatial relations and visual?motor coordination of children with developmental disorders.
Methods : Three children with developmental disabilities aged 5 to 6 years were the subjects of this study, and the ABA’ design, which is one of the single subject research designs. A total of 18 sessions were conducted over a six-week period?that is, three 30-minute sessions per week.
During the three baseline sessions, the children’s spatial relations and visual?motor coordination were evaluated prior to the intervention.
During the 12 sessions conducted in the intervention period, a vestibular and proprioception sensory integration intervention was performed, while in the final three sessions, the children’s spatial relations and visual?motor coordination were again evaluated (without any further intervention Children were measured and evaluated every session after intervention using a computer cognitive rehabilitation program (CoTras-C). Moreover, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children and the Korean-Development Test of Visual Perception-2 were used as evaluation tools to verify the effectiveness of the intervention.
Results : There were significant differences in the spatial relations and visual-motor coordination scores of the children with developmental disorders before and after the vestibular and proprioceptive sensory integration intervention. More specifically, after the intervention, all three children showed statistically significant improvements.
Conclusion : The applied vestibular and proprioceptive sensory integration therapy had a significant impact on the spatial relations and visual?motor coordination of the three children with developmental disorders.
