Abstract
In this study, we compared the effects of repetitive writing of kanji and kanji practice after sensory integration therapy (SIT) for children with difficulty writing kanji. We practiced kanji writing using the ABAB method based on the single case experiment method. We practiced repeated kanji in the A term, and kanji practice after the SIT intervention in the B term. We used the correct answer rate and the morphological similarity of the kanji test as indicators of effect judgment. There was no difference in the correct answer rate in both A and B terms in the kanji test. Morphological similarity was improved in the B term compared with the average in the A term. The practice of kanji after SIT was found to improve the morphology of kanji. In the future, we would like to generalize the results by increasing the number of cases and the number of training sessions.
