The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of eye-limb coordination training on object control motor skills in children with mild mental retardation. Elementary school boys(n=14, age: 10-13 years) with mild mental retardation were selected with consent from their parents. The experiment was conducted for 8 weeks, 3 sessions per week, and 90 minutes per session. In addition, two eye-limb coordination fields tests and five object control motor skill tests were administered before and after the program effectuated. The conclusions of this study were drawn as follows: First, as result of effectuating the eye-climb coordination training, there was statistically significant relation between the eye-hand coordination ability and object control skills in children with mental retardation. Second, the eye-limb coordination training positively affected the enhancement of object control motor skills in children with mental retardation.
