Abstract :
To find out the effectiveness of Sensory Based Motor Praxis Training (SBMPT) on Mirror Writing in Children with
Slow Learners. In India, around 13 to 14 per cent of all school children suffer from learning disorders. Children with slow learners often identified with Dyspraxia in nature, it involves poor motor coordination, timing, planning, organizing and sequencing. The main objectives of the study are to identify the mirror writing in children, to identify the sensory based motor praxis dysfunction, to plan and implement the sensory based motor praxis training in Occupational Therapy. Male and female children diagnosed with slow learners in the age group of 5 to 7 years were conveniently selected for this study in NIEPMD, Occupational Therapy. The subjects were assessed with Sensory Profile; Berry VMI and Sensory Based Motor Praxis Training (SBMPT) were implemented. It was found that there was a significant positive correlation between SBMPT and Mirror writing. SBMPT based Occupational Therapy was found to be effective in improving the writing skills in children with slow learners.
