The effects of occupational therapy with collage on the visual perception and hand function for the children with mild mental retardation
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of occupational therapy with collage on the visual perception and hand function for the children with mild mental retardation(MR). This study was held at P Developmental Center using 20 children with mild MR who received treatment for 12weeks. The two groups were divided into the group that participated in both the collage program and occupational therapy(2times per week, 1day collage, 1day occupational therapy) and the group that only received occupational therapy(2times per week, both times occupational therapy) 10 participants were randomly assigned to the two groups, The results showed that the study group increased in both visual perception and hand function(p<.05), while the control group only showed slight increases in hand function (p<.05). In conclusion, this study indicates that occupational therapy using a collage program increased the abilities of visual perception and hand function for children with mild MR.
현대사회에 있어서 신체활동 연구의 주요 탐구과제는 ‘신체활동을 통한 교육’으로부터 ‘인간의 기본적인 움직임’을 목표로 하는 스포츠적인 움직임을 중심으로 한 생명 활동의 개념으로 급속히 변화되고 있는 추세이다. 이러한 환경변화에 대응하기 위하여 본학회는 ‘체육’적인 요소에서 ‘스포츠’적인 요소를 중심으로 한 학문적 정체성을 견고히 하고, 정기적인 학술지 발간과 학술활동을 통해 한국스포츠츠 문화의 발전과 학문적인 발전에 기여하는데 그 목적이 있다.
