This study aims to examine the long-term effects of Visual Praxis Based Occupational Therapy Program (VP-OTP) on the reading skills of children with Developmental Dyslexia. A total of 126 children with Developmental Dyslexia participated in the study. The participants were then divided into two groups (Intervention and Control groups) of equal sizes ( = 63) using a random number generator without replacement. The intervention group received VP-OTP in two weekly sessions for 8 weeks. All participants were assessed with the Oral Reading Skills and Comprehension Test-II (Sobat®-II) at three time points; pretest, post-test, and follow-up. The intervention group showed promising results as the Sobat®-II's Reading Accuracy, Reading Speed, Fluent Reading, Reading Comprehension Total Score significantly increased after the intervention ( ≤ 0.05) and the scores were maintained at the follow-up ( > 0.05). The VP-OTP intervention provided a maintained improvement in reading skills of children with Developmental Dyslexia.
本研究旨在探讨视觉动作导向式职业治疗方案（VP-OTP）对发展性阅读障碍儿童阅读技能的长期影响。共有 126 名发展性阅读障碍儿童参与了这项研究。参与者随后使用无替换的随机数生成器分为两组（干预组和对照组），每组人数相等（ = 63）。干预组每周接受两次 VP-OTP 治疗，共进行 8 周。所有参与者在三个时间点（前测、后测和随访）都接受了 Oral Reading Skills and Comprehension Test-II（Sobat®-II）评估。干预组显示出有希望的结果，因为 Sobat®-II 的阅读准确性、阅读速度、流畅阅读、阅读理解总分在干预后显著提高（ ≤ 0.05），并且在随访时仍保持（ > 0.05）。VP-OTP 干预为发展性阅读障碍儿童的阅读技能提供了持续的改善。
