The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effectiveness of vestibular stimulation on improving motor skills in educable mental retardation children with DCD. Method: This study is a quasi-experimental (pre-test, post-test control group) desing. The statistical population of this study included all children with educable mentally disability in elementary schools in Isfahan City. The sample included 30 children who were randomly selected from one dual-shift school. Then they were randomly assigned into two equal groups: experimental and control. The tools used in this study were: Lincolen- Osertsky Motor test and Developmental Coordination Disorder List (DCD-Q,07; Wilson, 2007). Data were analyzed using Independent t-test and Mancova statistical method. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in motor skills (fine and gross) improvement in children with educable mental retardation using vestibular stimulation (P<0.001). Conclusion: Vestibular stimulation therapy has important positive effects on ability to improve motor skills in children with mental retardation with DCD. Our results also showed that vestibular stimulation therapy can significantly increase the motor skills perception development in educable mental retardation children.
