Motor Skill Performance of Children with Sensor Impairments

Abstract

According to ICD – 10 (1993) there are two big groups of specific developmental disabilities: learning disabilities and motor disabilities. The first includes a group of disorders which characterize problems in school achievement, especially in reading and math. The second includes a group of disorders in motor coordination, balance, lateralization, which cannot be explained by general problems in intellectual development or any other specific neurological disorder. The etiology of these disorders is unknown, but there is a hypothesis that they are the consequence of interaction between biological factors and the influence of social environment, as much as interaction between those two factors and quality of educational processes.
