Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of a perceptual motor program in promoting visual motor and motor control outcomes in a child with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) who is enrolled in an elementary school. Methods : The subject is 8-year-old boy who was diagnosed with ADHD but did not receive medication. Research design is a single-subject A-B-A(follow-up). Baseline and follow-up phase were 3 sessions and intervention phase were 8 sessions. After performing 40 minutes of free play on the baseline A and follow-up A, we used the copying subtest of the Korean Development Test of Visual Perception 2 (K-DTVP-2) for evaluating visual motor integration skill and the rope jumping subtest for motor skill. After providing the perceptual motor activity in intervention phase B, copying and ropejumping were performed. Results : The standard scores of the Copying for measuring visual motor integration skill were poor at an average of 4.7 points at baseline phase A, but maintained an average of 9.6 points at intervention phase B and an below average of 7.7 points at the follow-up phase A. In the Rope jumping for the motor skill, it was increased by 4.3 times in the baseline phase A and 5.9 times in the intervention phase B, but slightly decreased by 5 times in the follow-up phase A. Conclusion : This study suggests that perceptual motor program has a positive effect on visual motor and motor function of ADHD children.
