Kunming Primary School Children Sensory Integration Research

My thesis aims to research the distributed state and features about children's sensory integrative in primary schools in Kunming. The author evaluates the sensory integrative of 541 children from Grade One to Grade Six in two primary schools in the town and countryside respectively through Child Sensory Integrative Scale from Institute of Mental Health Beijing Medical University, and after doing some analysis of statistics and contrast, the author obtains the following results:Firstly, after exploring the distributed state and features about children's sensory integrative, the author concludes that most children are normal in Sensory Integrative Development throughout this study which takes the majority of 84.3% .The slight Sensory Integrative Dysfunction children is 11.5% while the rate of the serious Sensory Integrative Dysfunction is 4.3 %. The total rate of Children Sensory Integrative Dysfunction is 15.8%. It proves that the development of Children Sensory Integrative Ability in Kunming is better than that in any other provincial cities in China.Secondly, after studying the contrast of children's sensory integrative from different grades, different genders and from town and countryside respectively, the author also concludes that:(1) The rural Children Sensory Integrative Development is lower than that of the urban area on a whole.(2) There is an increasing trend with the growing of the Children's grades .The period of Grade 2 to Grade 3 is the critical period to the Children Sensory Integrative Development. There is a distinguished divergence in the grades which mainly embodies in the 3 items, such as "Balance Ability", "Noumenon Sense" and "Study Capacity" of children in different grades.(3) The girls Sensory Integrative Development is better than that of the boys. The girls are very remarkable in the 2 component parts in my study, that is "Balance Ability" and "Study Ability".Thirdly, my thesis shows that children's sensory integrative influences children's grades greatly, and the following is the conclusion: (1). Generally speaking, children's sensory integrative has great influence on children's grades of mathematics, PE, drawing and natural science. (2).
