Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the differences in sensory processing and visual perception between school-age children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and typical children. Methods : The participants in this research were children in the first and second grade in elementary school in Kyoung-Nam Region; 25 children diagnosed with ADHD comprised the experimental group, and 51 typical children comprised the control group. To evaluate the sensory processing of the children, the Sensory Profile (SP) was used, and the Korean Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2 (K-DTVP-2) was used to assess visual perception skills. The data were analyzed using SPSS 20.0, and the Independent t-test was used to compare the sensory processing and visual perception skills of the two groups. Results : The study found differences in the Sensory Profile summary scores and factor summary scores between the two groups (p<.05). We also found differences in the visual perception index and subtest standard scores between the two groups (p<.05). Conclusion : The results of this study show that the experimental and the control groups had significant differences in sensory processing and visual perception skills. The result will contribute to the assessment and education of children with ADHD.

목적 : 본 연구는 주의력결핍 과잉행동장애(Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; ADHD) 아동과 일반 아동을 대상으로 감각처리능력과 시지각 기술을 비교하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 연구대상은 지역적 환경이 동일한 아동으로 선정하였다. 소아정신과에서 ADHD로 진단받은 아동 25명과 초등학교 1, 2학년의 일반 아동 51명을 대상으로 감각처리능력과 시지각 기술을 평가하였다. 아동의 감각처리능력을 측정하기 위해 감각프로파일(Sensory Profile; SP)을 사용하였고 시지각 기술을 측정하기 위해 한국판 시지각 발달검사(Korean Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2; K-DTVP-2)를 사용하였다. 두 군 간의 감각처리능력과 시지각 기술의 차이는 독립표본 t 검정을 사용하여 분석하였다. 결과 : ADHD 아동과 일반 아동의 감각프로파일(SP)의 모든 하위 영역에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 감각요인을 비교한 결과 감각예민을 제외한 8가지 요인에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. K-DTVP-2의 모든 시지각 지수에서 유의한 차이를 보였다. K-DTVP-2의 하위 항목 표준점수를 비교한 결과 공간위치(p=.031), 도형-배경(p=.001), 시각 통합(p=.005), 눈-손 협응(p=.000), 따라 그리기(p=.044), 공간관계(p=.006)에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결론 : 본 연구는 임상에서 ADHD 아동의 행동의 특성을 이해하는데 감각처리능력과 시지각 기술이 중요하다는 근거가 되며 ADHD 아동의 평가, 교육 및 연구에 도움을 제공할 수 있다는 점에서 의미가 있다.
