Research Abstract

Validity and reliability of Japanese Playful Assessment of Neuropsychological Abilities (JPAN) were examined using Southern California Sensory Integration Test (SCSIT) and related developmental assessment tools. Scores of 36 children with developmental disabilities who's diagnoses were Learning disorders(LD), Developmental coordination disorders(DCD), Communication disorders(CD), Pervasive developmental disorders(PDD) and Attention deficit disorders(ADHD), under the diagnostic category of DSMIV-TR were analyzed. Results showed 81% of children's score fall into a risk category of SCSIT and confirmed JPAN has a high discriminative ability for sensory integrative dysfunctions. Group of PDD significantly showed deficits of developmental area of posture, equilibrium, praxis, visual perception and eye-hand coordination, compared with group of non-PDD. These results suggest JPAN is useful and reliable assessment tool for evaluating children's sensory motor abilities which intelligence test could not cover. Further studies are required to confirm these findings correcting a number of children's data who have developmental disorders.
