The research sample consisted of (15) boys and girls whose ages ranged between (9-11) years, and the study sample belongs to a socioeconomic level (below average), and their scores on the sensory-motor performance scale indicate that they suffer from a severe delay in sensorimotor skills, and their scores on the adaptive behavior scale indicate that they suffer from a shortcoming in Adaptive behavior.

Tools of study:

- Measure of the socio-economic level of the family prepared by: (Abdul Aziz Al-Shakhass, 2013).

- Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale (fifth pictures) (prepared by / Mahmoud Abu El-Nil 2011)

- sensorimotor performance measure (prepared by Tahany Moneb – Basma Badr – Nada Gowaly )

- The Adaptive Behavior Scale (Prepared by: Abdulaziz Al-Shakhas, 1998)

-Occupational therapy program to improve sensorimotor performance and some adaptive behavior skills (prepared by: researcher)

Results of study: The results indicated the effectiveness of the occupational therapy program in improving sensory-motor performance and some adaptive behavior skills among children with moderate intellectual disabilities.
