A Computerized Testing System for Measuring Motor and Sensory Integrative Functions in Children

Assessment of the motor and sensory integrative functions (MSI) is a key component of an overall health and functional evaluation for school-aged children with intellectual disabilities (ID). The ability of students with ID to perform age-appropriate motor tasks and adaptive behaviors (end product of sensory integration) can help determine the long-term effects of special education curriculum/interventions and the quality of an overall school-based rehabilitation program.We will develop item banks for 3 core domains of MSI (i.e., gross motor, fine motor, and sensory integration) for school-aged children with ID. About 200-250 participants will be recruited.
