In this research ‘Bruininks‒Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency’ was used. Sensory stimulation and physical exercises were practiced by the experimental group during 24 sessions. Each session was 45 minutes long and was held 3 times a week. The control group used the class programs. After 24 sessions both groups were tested.
To test the research hypothesis the Level data descriptive of mean and standard deviation and Deduction using independent and Dependent t-test and ANOVA2 × 2 and by Spss software (version 21) were analyzed.
