Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study is to develop an assessment tool for sensory processing and motor coordination skills, which can be used by elementary school teachers.
We asked elementary school teachers to fill out an Elementary School Version Questionnaire for Sensory Processing and motor coordination skills. Results were as below. ①Although there were no significantly differences of scores among age groups in sensory processing questionnaire, there were significantly differences of scores among age groups in motor coordination skills questionnaire. ②There were significantly differences in most subscales of questionnaires of sensory processing and motor coordination skills between children with developmental disabilities and children without disabilities. ③Factor analysis for sensory processing items revealed 5 factors. ④Factor analysis for motor coordination skills items revealed 6 factors. We could evaluate sensory processing and motor coordination skills using this questionnaire.
