In this study, we aimed to analyze the incremental effects of sensory integration therapy (SIT) plus neurodevelopmental therapy (NT) versus NT alone on the attention and motor skills in children with Down syndrome (DS). We randomly assigned into experimental (i.e. SIT + NT; n = 21) and control (i.e. NT alone; n = 21) groups. While NT was applied…

Korkusuz, Sevda; Top, Elif – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Individuals with mild intellectual disability (MID) were worse than their peers who typically develop in motor skills and attention-demanding assignments. In this study, effect of a 14-week physical activity and attention training practise on the motor skills, visual retention, perception and attention levels of students with MID were analysed.…

Nathan Gavigan; Johann Issartel; Cameron Peers; Sarahjane Belton – Journal of Teaching in Physical Education, 2024
Purpose: Competence in fundamental movement skills (FMS) is purported to be linked with increased physical activity participation. Yet, recent research suggests a low level of FMS proficiency in children. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy, impact on gender, and influence of teacher fidelity on the Moving Well-Being Well…

Imai, Yuto; Naruse, Hiroaki; Kurita, Rina; Hiratani, Michio; Tomori, Kounosuke – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2023
This study aimed to examine the outcomes and feasibility of a hybrid group-based intervention combining physical activity and an individual goal-oriented approach for children with developmental disabilities. We employed a single-arm pre-test/post-test repeated-measures design. Outcome measures were based on participants' achievement of individual…

Hassani, Fahimeh; Shahrbanian, Shahnaz; Shahidi, Seyed Houtan; Sheikh, Mahmoud – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that is characterized by deficits in social communication, interaction, and stereotypical behaviours. Children with ASD have not enough opportunities to participate in physical activity (PA), which lead to increase fitness and health problem. The aim of this study was to compare two…

Bolduc, Jonathan; Gosselin, Nathalie; Chevrette, Tommy; Peretz, Isabelle – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
This study explores how music training impacts the development of inhibition control, phonological processing, and gross and fine motor skills in preschoolers. In a randomized controlled trial, 160 kindergarteners in a music programme, a motor programme, or a control group were examined. Children in the two experimental conditions took part in 19…

Yilmaz, Simge; Sicim-Sevim, Berna – Early Child Development and Care, 2020
This study aimed to investigate whether or not gymnastics is effective to develop 60-72-month-old children's motor skills. The participants were selected from two different preschools in the same district of Ankara, Turkey. While half of the children participated in regular gymnastic activities in their schools, the remaining part of them did not…

Hudson, Kesha N.; Ballou, Haley M.; Willoughby, Michael T. – Grantee Submission, 2020
Previous studies have documented that individual differences in fine and gross motor skills are associated with executive function (EF) skills. This study used an experimental design to test whether participating in cognitively challenging motor skills activities was causally related to improvements in motor skills and two key indicators of school…
