Effects of Educational Training on Children With Developmental Delay

Therapeutic Effects of Individualized Educational Training on Preschool Children With Global Developmental Delay

Using a single-blind, randomized controlled design to investigate the additional therapeutic effects of individualized educational training on traditional rehabilitation programs for preschool children with developmental delays.

A total of 20 preschool children with developmental delay who are receiving traditional rehabilitation programs will be enrolled.

The participants will be randomized into two groups, including the intervention group (traditional rehabilitation program with individualized educational training: one time per week, 50 min per session, with a total of 4 sessions in one month) and the control group (traditional rehabilitation program without individualized educational training).

Therapeutic effects, including pediatric daily activity, attention, cognitive function, functional performance, quality of life, and physical functional performance at baseline, after one month of treatment, and 3 months after the treatment, will be evaluated.

The evaluators will be blinded to the group's allocation during the whole course of the intervention.

Inclusion Criteria:

• preschool children with a diagnosis of developmental delay, under regular traditional rehabilitation programs, intelligence quotient 70 or greater

Exclusion Criteria:

• age less than 3 or greater than 6 of children diagnosed with developmental delay, under regular traditional rehabilitation programs, intelligence quotient 70 or greater
