  • Title: Predictors of visual-motor integration in children with intellectual disability.
    Author: Memisevic H, Sinanovic O.
    Journal: Int J Rehabil Res; 2012 Dec; 35(4):372-4. PubMed ID: 23032939.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to assess the influence of sex, age, level and etiology of intellectual disability on visual-motor integration in children with intellectual disability. The sample consisted of 90 children with intellectual disability between 7 and15 years of age. Visual-motor integration was measured using the Acadia test of visual-motor integration. A multiple regression analysis was used for data analysis. The results of this study showed that sex, level of intellectual disability, and age were significant predictors of visual-motor integration. The etiology of intellectual disability did not play a significant role in predicting visual-motor integration. Visual-motor integration skills are very important for a child's overall level of functioning. Individualized programs for the remediation of visual-motor integration skills should be a part of the curriculum for children with intellectual disability.
