Home-based Visual-motor Training Program on Kindergarteners

Effectiveness of Home-based Visual-motor Training Programs on At-risk Kindergarteners

The study aims to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of the traditional and computerized home-based visual-motor training programs on at-risk kindergarteners.

The purpose of this project is to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of home-based traditional visual-motor activities and tablet games on fine motor, visual perception, visuo-motor integration, handwriting performance, and adaptive behaviors of at-risk kindergarteners. At-risk kindergarteners will be randomized into the three groups: control, traditional, and tablet groups. In addition to regular early intervention, children in the traditional and tablet group will receive home-based visuo-motor training program with their parents. Children in the control group will only receive regular intervention during the study period.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Either visual perception or fine motor score below the norm average
2. can follow instruction and complete the entire tests

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Visual or hearing problems that cannot be corrected to be normal
2. A diagnosis of significant neurological, muscular, and skeletal system disorders (e.g., Cerebral palsy)
3. A diagnosis of moderate or severe intellectual disabilities
4. Taking medication to control seizure or improve learning abilities
