Abstract
Background: Previous research has affirmed that multi-sensory approach may help students with learning disabilities. A limited research explores that the students who have dyspraxia and dysgraphia are quite different from other learning disabilities.& para;& para;Aims: This paper aims to investigate the effectiveness of a multi-sensory program in reducing dyspraxia and dysgraphia among students with learning disabilities.& para;& para;Methods and procedure: The Semi-experimental design was used for the research. Forty-one students from the second to fifth grade were selected as participants of the study from three primary schools with a prior diagnosis of learning difficulties. Nineteen of them included into this study as subjects of the study. They were divided into experimental (N = 10) and control (N = 9) groups. Dyspraxia rating scale (DYPS) and dysgraphia rating scale (DYGS) were used as the pre-test, post-test and follow-up test. A multi-sensory program (MSP) is a series of 45-mintue sessions, four times a week, which lasted for (8) weeks. Those in the control group received no training.& para;& para;Conclusion and Outcomes: A multi-sensory program is effective on reducing dyspraxia and dysgraphia among learning disabled students.& para;& para;Recommendation and Implication: Further research is needed to extend the efficacy of this program at home.
