Children with cerebral palsy often have disabilities with regard to motor development. In order to facilitate the motor development of these children, this study constructed parent-child toy-playing activities for parents of children with cerebral palsy. A quasi-experimental design was used in this study. Twenty-four children with cerebral palsy participated in the study. The Peabody Developmental Motor Scale— Second Edition (PDMS-2) was used to evaluate the results of a pretest and posttest in order to measure the motor development of these 24 children. Between the pre- and post-tests, the 12 children in the experimental group received a ten-week intervention. The parents of these 12 children found toys with what they thought were appropriate characteristics through a toy checklist, and engaged in parent-child toy-playing activities for ten weeks. A questionnaire for constructing this toy checklist was constructed on the basis of developmental problems in child development and therapeutic techniques. After the ten-week intervention, there was found to be a significant difference between the PDMS-2 pre-test and post-test scores. The results thus showed that ten weeks of parent-child toy-playing activities can promote the gross motor and fine motor development of children with cerebral palsy. |
