Communication through Physical Activity for Learning Disabled Children.

Hendry, Joan; Kerr, Robert

Perceptual and Motor Skills, v56 n1 p155-58 Feb 1983

Eight learning disabled children participated in an integrated program of motor and cognitive tasks over a six-month period. Compared to eight control subjects, the treated group showed greater improvement on tests of motor and cognitive skills. A physical activity program can influence basic cognitive as well as motor skills. (Author/RD)
