Objective : This study was to investigate effects of sensory integration intervention with oral activity on breathing and oral diadochokinetic movement of child with developmental disability. Methods : A subject of this study was 6years and 7month old boy, living in G city which was diagnosed as developmental disability. The study performed from November, 2012 to February, 2013. Research design used in this study is AB design for single-subject research. The experimental period was divided into two phase: 3 sessions for baseline phase (A), 16 sessions for treatment phase (B). There was sensory integration therapy on the baseline phase, and sensory integration intervention with oral activity was conducted on the treatment phase. Breathing measured a Spirometer, oral diadochokinetic movement was measured by measuring the time secondly when repeating "phathakha" ten times. Results : In comparison with the baseline phase, the child's breathing and diadochokinetic movement increased during the treatment phase. Conclusion : Sensory integration intervention with oral activity brought positive results to child's breathing and oral diadochokinetic movement.

Goal of this study is to introduce newly developed Oral Motor Facilitation Technique(OMFT), to identify effect of oral motor therapy on oral praxis and oral function of Down syndrome child. OMFT is comprehensive oral motor therapy for improving sensory adaptation, oral sensori-motor function, oral motor coordination of oro-facial structure by therapist's direct manual stroking. Subject was 10years old down syndrome boy. Treatment was practiced 8 times, 15minutes per time, from May to July, 2020. Oral praxis, drooling, quality of chewing ability were tested before and after treatments. Every single items of Oral Praxis Test was increased. Severity and frequency of drooling were decreased. Quality of chewing ability is improved. Through this case study, we can find the positive effect of OMFT on oral praxis, drooling, chewing ability of Down syndrome child.

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate how many studies for sensory integration intervention in Korea reflect the principle of Ayers' sensory integration through a systemic review. Methods : The systemic review was executes using RISS, NDSL, KISS, DBpia. The key words for search were 'sensory integration therapy', 'sensory integration intervention', 'sensory integration program', 'sensory integration training' to search the articles, published in 2000-2012. To analyze ASI fidelity of 49 studies included in the present study, the numbers of items were calculated if the study describe the ASI principle. Results : The IV was the most levels of evidence, and the subjects for the studies were mental intellectual disability (15), developmental disability (14) and autism spectrum disorders (13) etc. It was described the most that presenting sensory opportunities (43), challenging postural, ocular, oral and/or bilateral motor control (37) of ASI fidelity. The studies using more than 4 ASI principle were 26.5%(13), and 7 studies using 8 or more than 8 were studied in OT. Conclusion : In OT, 34 of 49 studies performed, and they used several principles of ASI. To have unity for sensory integration principle and to improve therapy professionalism the study using various data and systematic review study will be needed in the future.

Diadochokinesis (DDK) aims to identify the evaluating the oral mitor ability and the moter coordination ability. There are few DDK normative data on elementary school students in Korea, The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of the speed and regularity of DDK in first- and second-grade students in elementary school. The subjects were a total of 194 students in first- (45 males, 50 females) and second-grade (47 males, 52 females) in elementary schools in Gwangju Metropolitan City. As evaluation tasks, AMR task 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' and SMR task 'p?t?k?' were performed. The speed and regularity of DDK was measured using Motor speech profile (Model 5141, KayPENTAX) and Praat (v6.0.3.6). The results of this study, First, there was a statistically significant difference by grade in AMR speed for 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' and the AMR speed was faster in second grade group. And, there was no statistically significant. Second, AMR regularity showed a statistically significant difference in 'p?', 't?', and 'k?' according to sex and was found to be more regular in female student group. There was no significant difference in regularity by grade. Third, the SMR speed showed statistically significant difference in 'p?t?k?' by grade and was faster in second grade group. And there was no statistically significant difference by sex. The results of this study showed that the DDK performance ability in first- and second-grade students in elementary school was slightly different according to grade and sex. In future research, it is necessary to investigate the correlation between the articulation accuracy and linguistic intelligibility, and to find out the usefulness of DDK in articulation evaluation.
