Brief Summary

The purpose of the research study is to investigate if daily motor activities, including fitness activities, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and motor coordination activities result in physiological, cognitive, and behavioral benefits to children at Odyssey Academy. The study will compare students' performance after intervention by comparing an intervention period to a standard care period, and comparing intervention students to students engaged in standard school activities in the area of academic performance.

  Baseline, 10 weeks, 20 weeks

• Change in Test of Visual Motor Integration (VMI) between 3 time points (baseline, 10 weeks, 20 weeks)

  Measures of visual perception and visual motor skills providing scores from 45-155 where higher scores represent better performance.

  Baseline, 10 weeks, 20 weeks

• Change in Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function - Parent and Teacher Forms between 3 time points (baseline, 10 weeks, 20 weeks)
