IMPACT OF PALLANGULI GAME ON VISUAL MOTOR SKILLS AMONG CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITY

Abstract

Learning disability is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects a child’s ability to acquire and use academic skills such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They often experience difficulties in visual perception, motor coordination, cognitive functions, and information processing, which significantly influence their academic performance and daily activities. These children also show disruptions in neural coordination required for accurate hand movements and spatial organization. To examine the effectiveness of pallanguli game on visual motor skills among children with learning disabilities. The present study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the Pallanguli game on visual–motor skills among children with learning disabilities. The sample consisted of 12 children with specific learning disabilities, selected using the purposive sampling method. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was adopted. The paired sample t-test was used for statistical analysis. The findings of the study revealed that playing the Pallanguli game significantly improved visual–motor skills among children with learning disabilities. In addition, the intervention demonstrated versatile benefits, including enhancement of cognitive functions.
