Abstract
Background: Down syndrome is one of the most common congenital chromosomal abnormalities.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of two methods of motor program and computer games on fine motor skills in children with Down syndrome disorder.
Methods: For this purpose, 45 students who were studying in exceptional schools Tehran were selected with the available sampling method. After homogenizing the scores in the pretest, participants were divided into three groups of 15 people including two experimental groups (motor program and computer game groups) and one control group. Experimental groups participated in selective games for 10 weeks, three 40-minute sessions a week. To collect the test data before and after the intervention were BOTMP. T-tests (dependent) and covariance were used to the comparison of results.
Results: The results showed that there is a significant difference between the groups of computer games and motor program compared to the control group in fine motor skill (respectively P=0.001, P=0.007). the results also showed that there is no significant difference between the two groups of computer games and the motor program in fine motor skill (P≥0.05).
Conclusion: Therefore, it seems that the correct use of computer games can improve fine motor skills in children with Down syndrome disorder.

Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of exercise intervention on some Event Related Potential and motor performance variables in children with developmental coordination disorder.
Methods: In this Quasi-experimental study were selected 28 people with Developmental Coordination Disorder among 7-10 years male students in Tehran. They were screened for study according to the 4th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Disorder. PsyTask software made by Mitsar Russia was used to build and run the response inhibition test.  Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC-2) was used to measure motor function. The analysis of the covariance was used for data analysis.
Results: The analysis of the covariance the posttest ERP showed that latency of NoGo P300 component in Fz and P4 regions, amplitude of NoGo P300 component in Cz region improved significantly after exercise training. Likewise, the results showed that the experimental group improved significantly in manual dexterity, aiming and catching, balance, but there was no significant change in Threading Lace item.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it seems that Physical training interventions has a signification effect on some neuropsychological and motor performance indices of children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
