About this trial

This randomized controlled trial aims to investigate the effects of a structured visual skills-based occupational therapy program on visual perception and school-based visual-motor functions in typically developing primary school students aged 8-10 years. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a 6-week visual skills program or a control group receiving routine school activities and home-based assignments. Outcomes including visual perception, visual-motor performance, convergence ability, and motor proficiency will be assessed before and after the intervention.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-3 (MVPT-3) Score

Visual perception will be assessed using the Motor-Free Visual Perception Test-3 (MVPT-3). Higher scores indicate better visual perception performance.

Time frame
Baseline and 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes

1

Minnesota Handwriting Assessment (MHA) Score

Handwriting performance will be evaluated using the Minnesota Handwriting Assessment, including legibility and writing quality parameters.

Time frame
Baseline and 6 weeks
2

Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency-2 Short Form (BOT-2 SF) Score

Motor proficiency will be assessed using the BOT-2 Short Form. Higher scores indicate better motor performance.

Time frame
Baseline and 6 weeks
