The aim of this paper is to determine, recognise and examine the deviations in motor development of a 5-year-old girl with abnormal neurological symptom disorder and global developmental delay (motor, speech and social) and create an individualised program of motor development. The program was created based on the initial measurements, taking into account the girl's disorders, and adapted to her needs.
Measurements were performed using the MOT 4-6 test to collected data of initial and final tests. In between these tests, we carried out an individualised program for three weeks, five times a week. Once the data were analysed, we determined to what extent our individualised program contributed to the improvement in the girl's motor development.
The results showed that the girl's motor development improved. The progress made was in certain areas more significant (walking straight, catching a hoop) and minimal in other areas (tapping, grabbing a cloth with toes, catching a rod, placing tennis balls in a box, walking backwards, collecting sticks, squat-jumping, rolling on the hip, standing up and sitting down holding a ball), whereas in some areas there was no progress at all (lateral jumping, one-legged jumping into a hoop, hitting a target, jumping with a twist). In some tasks, the girl achieved all points in the first test (going through a hoop, jumping over a rope). What is more, we observed there is still room for improvement, not only in planning, but also in the execution of the program.
