Abstract

Objective : This study sought to investigate the effects of a sensory integration intervention focusing on vestibular and proprioceptive on the spatial relations and visual-motor coordination of children with developmental disorders. Methods : Three children with developmental disabilities aged 5 to 6 years were the subjects of this study, and the ABA' design, which is one of the single subject research designs. A total of 18 sessions were conducted over a six-week period-that is, three 30-minute sessions per week. During the three baseline sessions, the children's spatial relations and visual-motor coordination were evaluated prior to the intervention. During the 12 sessions conducted in the intervention period, a vestibular and proprioception sensory integration intervention was performed, while in the final three sessions, the children's spatial relations and visual-motor coordination were again evaluated (without any further intervention Children were measured and evaluated every session after intervention using a computer cognitive rehabilitation program (CoTras-C). Moreover, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children and the Korean-Development Test of Visual Perception-2 were used as evaluation tools to verify the effectiveness of the intervention. Results : There were significant differences in the spatial relations and visual-motor coordination scores of the children with developmental disorders before and after the vestibular and proprioceptive sensory integration intervention. More specifically, after the intervention, all three children showed statistically significant improvements. Conclusion : The applied vestibular and proprioceptive sensory integration therapy had a significant impact on the spatial relations and visual-motor coordination of the three children with developmental disorders.

목적 : 본 연구를 통하여 발달장애 아동에게 적용한 전정감각, 고유감각 중심의 감각통합 중재가 공간 지각력, 시-운동 협응력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 한다. 연구방법 : 본 연구는 발달 장애 아동 만 5~6세 아동 3명을 대상으로 개별실험연구방법(single subject research design) 중 ABA' 설계를 사용하였다. 매주 3회기씩 6주간 30분씩 총 18회기를 진행하였다. 기초선 3회기와 재기초선 3회기는 중재 없이 공간 지각력과 시-운동 협응을 평가하였고 중재기 12회기는 전정감각, 고유감각 위주 감각통합 중재를 실시하였다. 중재의 효과를 알아보기 위한 매회기 측정으로는 전산화 인지 프로그램(CoTras-C)을 이용하였으며, 공간지각력 평가를 위한 퍼즐하기, 시-운동 평가를 위한 미로 찾기를 실시하였다. 연구의 사전, 및 사후 평가는 카우프만 아동용 지능 검사(Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children; K-ABC II)와 한국판 시지각 발달 검사(Korean-Developmental Test of Visual Perception-2: K-DTVP-2)의 하위평가를 이용하였다. 결과 : 발달장애 아동에게 전정감각, 고유감각 중심의 감각통합중재를 적용하기 전보다 후에 공간지각력과 시-운동 협응력 점수에 유의한 차이가 있었고, 세 아동 모두 통계적으로 유의한 차이가 있었다. 결론 : 전정, 고유감각 중심의 감각통합 치료가 발달장애 아동의 공간지각력과 시-운동 협응력에 유의미한 영향을 미쳤다.
