COMPARATIVE STUDY OF PERCEPTUAL MOTOR COORDINATION BETWEEN INTELLECTUAL CHILDREN AND CHILDREN WITH MILD INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY
Abstract
The purpose of the study was to determine comparison between perceptual motor abilities of intellectual children and children with mild intellectual disability. 30 intellectual children from D. A. V. Public School, Patiala and 30 children with mild intellectual disability from Patiala school for the Deaf, Saifdipur were selected randomly as the subjects for this study. The necessary data was collected by carrying the measurements. In order to analyze the scores of the selected dimension of intellectual children and children with mild intellectual disability, the decrypted analysis technique was used. Further to find our significant comparison between the scores of subjects on selected dimension of intellectual children and children with mild intellectual disability. The ‘t’ test was employed for testing of the hypothesis the level of significance was set at 0.05 level.
