Registration Number

Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

Using a single-blind, randomized controlled design to investigate the additional therapeutic effects of individualized educational training on traditional rehabilitation programs for preschool children with developmental delays.

Detailed Description

A total of 20 preschool children with developmental delay who are receiving traditional rehabilitation programs will be enrolled.

The participants will be randomized into two groups, including the intervention group (traditional rehabilitation program with individualized educational training: one time per week, 50 min per session, with a total of 4 sessions in one month) and the control group (traditional rehabilitation program without individualized educational training).

Therapeutic effects, including pediatric daily activity, attention, cognitive function, functional performance, quality of life, and physical functional performance at baseline, after one month of treatment, and 3 months after the treatment, will be evaluated.

The evaluators will be blinded to the group's allocation during the whole course of the intervention.
