About

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

Full description

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.

Enrollment: 150 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 5 to 6 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
