According to the results of somatosensory perception tests, significant differences were found in kinesthesia, manual form perception, finger identification, figure-ground perception, localization of tactile stimuli, double tactile stimuli perception (<it>p</it> < 0.05). Control group was better in motor planning (<it>p</it> < 0.05). Comprehension, expression, social communication, problem solving, and memory skills were significant in favor of the control group (<it>p</it> < 0.05). Graphestesia and self-care domain was found to be correlated (r = 0,491, <it>p</it> = 0.002) between the groups.</p> <p>Discussion</p> <p>Special education and rehabilitation programs including sensory integration therapy and motor performance will increase independence in the activities of daily living in children with developmental coordination disorder.</p> |
