摘要

本研究之目的為探討學習障礙兒童之動作表現及感覺統合功能。70位學習障礙兒童（平均年齡＝9.8±2.2）和70位正常發展兒童（平均年齡＝9.3±2.3）接受動作功能、感覺統合及視知覺功能之評估。結果顯示感覺動作問題常見於學習障礙兒童，學習障礙兒童所有的動作表現均較控制組差；此外，學習障礙兒童的精細動作功能較粗大動作功能差。學習障礙兒童也呈現感覺統合與視知覺功能失常。針對感覺動作功能早期的評估及介入可幫助學習障礙兒童更能融合至一般的學習情境中。

The purpose of the study was to describe sensorimotor profile in children with learning disabilities (LD). Seventy children with LD aged 7 to 12 years (mean age=9.8±2.2 years), were compared with 70 age-matched typically developing children (mean age=9.3±2.3 years) with measures of motor, sensory integrative, and visual perceptual functioning. The instruments used were the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-Second Edition, the Test of Sensory Integration Function, and the Developmental Test of Visual Motor Integration. Sensorimotor dysfunctions were found to be very frequent in children with LD. Children with LD performed significantly less well on all test measures compared to the controls. They had weaker fine motor skills than gross motor skills. Sensory integrative functions and visual perception were impaired as well. Early identification of sensorimotor impairments is essential to prompt early intervention and facilitate better integration into regular school settings.
