This paper presents the effect of sensory-integration motor program on children with cerebral palsy. Five children with cerebral palsy participated in this experiment. Subjects were received the sensory-integration treatment for 45 minutes a day for 6 weeks, exclusive of Saturday and Sunday, which consisted of the stimulations of the vestibular sense, tactile sense and proprioceptive. The effects of the sensory-integration motor program were evaluated by measurements of Tomas test and Degangi-Berk test. The data obtained before and after the treatment were analyzed statistically by using Wilcoxon test. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The sensory-integration motor program for the children with cerebral palsy had significant effects on their body functional development and basic movement, especially the creeping and the standing(p<0.05). 2. The sensory-integration motro program for the children with cerebral palsy had significant effects on their sensory-motor movement(Degangi-Berk test), especially the bilateral integration and the reflex integration(p<0.05).
