Outline of Final Research Achievements

Among the children with a developmental disease, there are some children having Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD).

So, we have newly developed Cognitive Occupational Training (COGOT) and verify the effectiveness by using the Assessment of Motor and Process Skills (AMPS).
