Abstract: (4588 Views)
Introduction: The current study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of psycho-motor skills training on executive functions of pre-school children with non-verbal learning disabilities in the city of Isfahan.
Method: In this quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test controlled-study we used the sequential random sampling method from the city of Isfahan (2011-2012) during which twenty preschoolers aged 5 to 6.5 years who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were recruited and assigned to either experimental or control group. To obtain basic neuropsychological data, the valid and reliable CONNERS’ questionnaire was employed. Findings were tested with analysis of covariance using the SPSS.16 software.
Results: Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference in mean executive function subscales of the questionnaire between the two examined groups upon post-test (p<0/05).
Conclusion: As our findings pointed out, psycho-motor skills training appear to improve performance (executive function subscales) thus helping to overcome some neuropsychological difficulties in young children with non-verbal learning disabilities.
