Brief Summary

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.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

• BOT-2

  The BOT-2 assesses proficiency in four motor-area composites: fine manual control composite, manual coordination composite, body coordination composite, and strength and agility composite. The average age-adjusted scale scores for subtests are 15 (S.D. = 5), whereas composites are derived by summing the subtest scale scores and converting them to a quotient with a mean of 100 and a S.D. of 15.

  Baseline (pretest)

• Jebsen-Taylor Hand Function Test

  The JTHFT is a quick and reliable measure of hand functioning incorporating 7 simulated tasks of activities of daily living (ADL).The tasks are: stacking, simulated page-turning, simulated feeding, picking up small objects, lifting large and lightweight object, lifting heavy object, and writing (copying). All tasks were timed and three scores were generated. A JTHFT- object score was the total time (seconds) taken to perform all 6 tasks except for writing for dominant and non-dominant hand, respectively. A JTHFT- writing score was the time spent (seconds) to complete a writing task for the dominant hand. Excellent reliabilities was reported in adults and typically developing children, and this assessment has also been utilized to exam the uni-manual capabilities in children with cerebral palsy and other motor dysfunctions

  Baseline (pretest)

• TVPS-4

  The TVPS-4 is a motor-free and individually administered test to evaluate the comprehensive visual perceptual functions for individuals aged 5-21. The TVPS-4 comprised 7 tests: visual discrimination, visual memory, spatial relationship, form constancy, sequential memory, visual figure- ground, and visual closure. The TVPS-4 has excellent reliabilities evidence and concurrent validities with other similar tests

  Baseline (pretest)

• Sensory Profile

  The SP is a parent report measure of behaviors associated with abnormal responses to sensory stimuli for children 5-10 years of age. The SP consists of 125 items grouped into three main sections: Sensory Processing, Modulation, and Behavioral and Emotional Responses. Items are scored from always (1) to never (5), with higher scores indicating more impairment. The total score of each section is the best indicator of overall sensory dysfunction. The SP provides published cut-off scores. Scores at or above the mean are considered ''typical''; scores of 1 standard deviation below the mean for the typical reference sample are reported as a ''probable difference'', and scores at 2 standard deviations below the mean for the typical reference sample are reported as a ''definite difference''.

  Baseline (pretest)

• Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale-Chinese Version

  The VABS-C was the Chinese version of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale23 and was used in individuals aged 0 to 18 years-11 months. This assessment measures age-related adaptive skills essential for personal and social competencies. This 577-item measure included four domains: motor skills (gross, fine), communication (written, expressive, receptive,), daily living skills (community domestic, personal,), and socialization skills (coping skills, interpersonal relationships, play and leisure time)
