The present study investigated whether the onset of babbling was related (a) to later language ages, (b) later Fine and Gross Motor Ages, and (c) the onset of crawling to later language ages or preschool children with autism. Parents or caregivers of 32 children (6 girls, 26 boys) were given the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales to assess general adaptive behaviors. The onset of babbling and or first words were significantly correlated; however, babbling onset was not related to later language ages nor was it related to Gross and Fine Motor Ages. No significant correlation was observed between the onset of crawling and later language ages.

Early childhood education aims to support children’s whole development and their school readiness. Children develop a knowledge about reading, writing and learning before elementary school. This knowledge is called early literacy and it’s a key factor for school readiness. This study delves to investigate the early literacy skills of children and their visual motor integration. For this purpose, kindergarten students’ level of early literacy skills and visual motor integration was determined and the correlation between the two was analyzed. Eighty children at the age of five (40 females and 40 males) attending kindergarten were purposively chosen. In the study, 38% of the participants in the kindergarten was in the inadequate level of early literacy skills and 62% was in the instructional level. Children in the instructional level also showed that they had better visual motor coordination skills as well. These children presented better visual motor coordination skills in the fine manipulative skills category, print awareness category, and expressive and receptive language skills category. It was seen that visual motor integration development is a valuable factor to supports kindergarten children’s early literacy skills. For this reason, children’s visual motor coordination skills should be taken into consideration and supported for their early literacy skills development.

An empirical study was designed to identify which perceptual-motor, cognitive and personality factors may underlie both acquisition of a signed language as a B language and development of signed language interpreting skills. If abilities that are potentially needed are found, a previous assessment of candidates’ potential for developing signed-language interpreting skills could be useful in identifying which students are likely to obtain good results during training. Perceptual-motor and cognitive skills, personality factors and academic background were hypothesized as possible predictors of success. Results showed that perceptual-motor and cognitive abilities are more important than personality traits in predicting proficiency in learning a signed language and developing signed-language interpreting abilities. Perceptual-motor coordination is the most reliable factor for predicting signed language proficiency, followed by other cognitive and personal factors.

Background. Children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) have difficulties in the development of simulating, gross and fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination and language skills. Tics and repetitive movements often associated with ASD, intellectual deficiency. Aim. To identify a relationship between tic disorders and specific developmental disorders: motor skills, speech, cognitive functions in children with ASD. Methods. There were randomized 79 children aged 4-6 years with ASD, 38 children among them with comorbid tics disorders (TD). For the diagnosis of ASD were used diagnostic criteria of ICD-10, Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised (ADI-R), Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS). The development of motor skills, speech, and cognitive function was assessed using Psycho-educational Profile (PEP-R). For the diagnosis of comorbid mental disorders ware conducted using The Development and Well-Being Assessment (DAWBA). As motor disorders considered tics, abnormal movements associated with ADHD, anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Tics were assessed by Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS). Results. In children with ASD and comorbid TD was noted retardation of formation of gross motor skills in comparison with the control group by PEP-R. It was also noted delay in the formation of skills in receptive speech and gross motor skills in accordance with the results of evaluation by using Vineland-II.

Increasing evidence shows that children with Communication Disorders (CDs) may show gross, fine, and visual-motor difficulties compared to children with typical development. Accordingly, the present study aims to characterize gross, fine and visual-motor skills in children with CDs, distinguishing children with CDs into three subgroups, i.e., with Language Disorders (LD), Speech Sound Disorders (SSD), and LD+SSD. In Experiment 1, around 60% of children with CDs (4 to 7 years; 21 with LD, 36 with SSD, and 90 with LD+SSD) showed clinical/borderline scores in balance skills, regardless of the type of communication deficit. However, children with LD, SSD, and LD+SSD did not differ in gross and fine motor skills. In Experiment 2, a higher percentage of children with CDs (4 to 7 years; 34 with LD, 62 with SSD, 148 with LD+SSD) obtained clinical/borderline scores in Visual Perception skills. Moreover, children with LD+SSD performed significantly worsen in Visual Perception and Fine Motor Coordination skills compared to children with SSD only. Our results underlined that CDs are generally associated with gross motor difficulties and that visual-motor difficulties are related to the type of communication deficit. Paying earlier attention to the motor skills of children with CDs could help clinicians design effective interventions.

The purpose of this study was to assess whether the Motor Profile (Bruininks, Rynders, & Ilmer, 1990) is a reliable, objective, and valid assessment tool of gross and fine motor skills for children ( N = 60) between the ages of 3 yr., 0 mo. to 5 yr., 11 mo., classified only as speech-language-delayed. Strong test-retest and inter-rater agreement were indicated. Higher cognitive processing, static and dynamic balance may have played a critical role in the children's performance of items that loaded on Factor 1, while eye-foot and eye-hand coordination may have influenced performance on those of Factor 2. The Motor Profile is a valid assessment instrument identifying the current motor development of this population.

The author substantiates the role and importance of music in encouraging child’s speech and language development. The purpose of this article is to determine the effect of music presence in learning process, analyse the changes in speech development of elementary school students through musical interaction and justify the need for computer music technologies.This paper highlights the importance of developing the foundational skills (reading, writing, listening, speaking) and sub-skills (grammar, stylistic, pronunciation and vocabulary) by using a wide range of music technologies. The use of computer music technologies stimulates brain function that leads to an improvement students’ mental health and well-being, increasing cognitive function (concentration, attention, imagination, memory and thinking), developing important social skills.The article defines the use of logarithmics in preparation child's breathing, an auditory analyzer and speech production system for child's speech and language activity. Logopedic rhythmics is an effective method of development of mental cognitive processes, internal sense of rhythm, gross and fine motor skills, improving coordination and the personality spheres. Logarithmics is a correctional technique, which include speech and motor exercises, psychogymnastics and dance-rhythmic exercises. It was recommended to use this method not only in the treatment for children with speech disorders, psychomotor poverty or intellectual disability.The author has been making recommendations aimed at creating a positive psychological microclimate, activation of cognitive activity of children, engaging in creative self-expression and exploration of their capabilities, which help to accelerate the language development. Keywords: language development; music art; music computer technologies; speech development; speech skills; logarithmics; psychogymnastics; dance-rhythmic exercises; elementary school students; speech production system.

<em>Delay Development</em> is a delay in growth and development of children in the form of significant lagging in physical activities including crawling, sitting, standing and walking, cognitive abilities, behaviors, emotions or social development in children when compared to normal children his age. Problems that arise in Delay Development conditions namely postural development hypotonic, growth delay motoric development, postural imbalance and functional limitation. Objective<strong> </strong>Halliwick to improve bodily functions and maintain balance in water and the Neuro development treatment underwater aims to improve the tone of posture in water. This research was conducted at YPAC Surakarta with a descriptive analytic the research design used is a case study design. The subjects of this study were patients with Delay development conditions who would be given physiotherapy interventions using the Halliwick and Neuro development treatment underwater methods.

Suggestion Patients are asked to exercise regularly at home so that there is a significant increase.

The present study aims at investigating whether a link between language deficits and upper and lower limb motor asymmetry can be established. We assessed language skills, handedness, and footedness in a group of 13 children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and two control groups matched on language age (LA) and chronological age(CA) respectively. Specifically, we tested the production of object wh questions, object relative clauses and sigmatic past tense production for novel non-rhyming verbs, and administered hand and foot preferencequestionnaires. While significant between group differences were found in the language tasks, as participants with SLI performed significantly below CA controls, the same level of performance was shown for hand and foot preference. Further analysis revealed no correlation between foot and hand preference for the SLI group in contrast to typically developing children. Additional regression analysis showed that the non-right foot preference could predict participation in the SLI group. These results may be indicative of poor hand-foot coordination in the SLI group and increased chance for SLI individuals to be grouped as non-right footed. We interpret these findings as showing immature motor development in SLI and pointing to a weak correlation between motor laterality and language deficits. We discuss the implications of our findings for the characterisation of the deficit in SLI.

Speech is one aspect of child development that starts from birth. By talking, children can communicate to those around them about themselves, about their condition and about what they want to convey. A child is said to be late in speaking if at the age the ability to process vocals and communicate is not in accordance with the age of the development period or is below the average age of the child. The impact that will be very visible and clearly felt is when communicating with the environment and experiencing difficulties in adaptation and socialization. Oro motor is the movement of the mouth (oral). In newborns this ability is carried out reflexively, then through the learning process an automatic and skilled oromotor will be achieved. Oral motor training is the coordination and movement of hard tissue, soft tissue, vascular system, and control of the nerves in the face and mouth areas that form the function of oral motor. Coordination of these structures is essential for speech, chewing and swallowing with a wide variety of food textures. In general, this paper is to review the results of research that identifies oral motor stimulation increasing the function of orofacial muscles in speech delay children. Method; qualitative descriptive with SSR (Single Subject Research) technique. Literature Review: The oral motor stimulation program includes activities to improve tongue literacy, lip control and chewing power. Oral motor stimulation includes active exercises and passive exercises. Results: The oral motor stimulation program can improve the function of orofacial muscles in children such as pronouncing letters, swallowing food and breathing properly. Language and speech disorders are a type of communication disorder which is indicated by a disturbance in the symbolic process. Language and speech disorders can be caused by disorders of the nervous system or abnormalities in organs related to language and speech processes. Oral motor stimulation can improve the functional ability of the muscles in the mouth area. Good oral motor skills will support the child's speech process.

As dance training evolves and becomes more complex, knowledge of motor behavior is foundational in helping dancers learn and master new skills and become more efficient in integrating the skills. Motor Learning and Control for Dance is the first resource to address motor learning theory from a dance perspective. Educators and students preparing to teach will learn practical ways to connect the science behind dance to pedagogy in order to prepare dancers for performance. Dancers interested in performance from the recreational to professional levels will learn ways to enhance their technical and artistic progress. In language accessible even to those with no science background, Motor Learning and Control for Dance showcases principles and practices for students, artists, and teachers. The text offers a perspective on movement education not found in traditional dance training while adding to a palette of tools and strategies for improving dance instruction and performance. Aspiring dancers and instructors will explore how to develop motor skills, how to control movement on all levels, and—most important—how motor skills are best taught and learned. The authors, noted experts on motor learning and motor control in the dance world, explore these features that appeal to students and instructors alike: • Dance-specific photos, examples, and figures illustrate how to solve common problems various dance genres. • The 16 chapters prepare dance educators to teach dancers of all ages and abilities and support the development of dance artists and students in training and performance. • An extensive bibliography of sports and dance science literature allows teachers and performers to do their own research. • A list of key terms is at the beginning of each chapter with an accompanying glossary at the back of the book. Part I presents an overview of motor behavior, covering motor development from birth to early adulthood. It provides the essential information for teaching posture control and balance, the locomotor skills underlying a range of complex dance skills, and the ballistic skills that are difficult to teach and learn, such as grand battement and movements in street dance. Part II explores motor control and how movement is planned, initiated, and executed. Readers will learn how the nervous system organizes the coordination of movement, the effects of anxiety and states of arousal on dance performance, how to integrate the senses into movement, and how speed and accuracy interact. Part III investigates methods of motor learning for dancers of all ages. Readers will explore how to implement a variety of instructional strategies, determine the best approaches for learning dance skills, and motivate and inspire dancers. This section also discusses how various methods of practice can help or hinder dancers, strategies for improving the recall of dance skills and sequences, and how to embrace somatic practice and its contribution to understanding imagery and motor learning. Motor Learning and Control for Dance addresses many related topics that are important to the discipline, such as imagery and improvisation. This book will help performers and teachers blend science with pedagogy to meet the challenge of artistry and technique in preparing for dance performaance.

This chapter describes disorders of motor control, language, and learning. Tics are sudden, stereotyped, repetitive, unwanted movements, and a severe form is called Tourette disorder. Their strong association with obsessional disorders and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is described. Developmental coordination disorder is a group of problems suggesting immaturity in control, both of fine adjustments and of large movements of the limbs. Impairments of language development include receptive, expressive, and pragmatic problems, and can extend to signed language. Problems in learning to read and write and acquire other skills needed for school learning are very frequent in the population. Neuropsychological formulations have been influential in guiding policy and practice in schools. Generalized learning difficulties are conceptualized as intellectual disability.
