Abstract
This study attempted to determine whether children classified as learning disabled also demonstrate specific or general motoric dysfunction characteristics which can be identified early. The Lincoln-Oseretsky Motor Development Scale was administered to 28 children aged 5.1 to 13.6 who were referred to the University of Kansas Perceptual Motor Clinic. The findings support Ayres' conclusion that children evidencing perceptual-motor dysfunction also demonstrate static balance problems.Keywords
