Abstract | Evaluated was a program designed to improve the perceptual, motor/sensory skills of 1,002 handicapped children (5-21 years old) in New York City schools. Program components included motor education training for students, inservice training of classroom teachers and periodic teacher workshops, and parent education through workshops and specially designed training materials. Findings showed that students made significant gains in motor skills as a result of training; that a positive training effect was also evident for classroom teachers; and that the program proved to have a comparable positive impact on parents as well. Recommendations were made that services be enlarged to include additional classes of learning disabled and blind students; and that the scope of teacher training be expanded. (Appended materials include sample data report forms; and copies of the Motor Proficiency Screening Test, the teacher questionnaire, and the parent questionnaire.) (SBH) |
