This study investigates physical changes in children with Dyslexia and Intellectual Disability. Participants divided into three groups and Body Posture, Postural Control and Hand Grip Strengths was evaluated.
Children with Intellectual Disability and Dyslexia have academic and behavioral problems but also they might have physical changes related to poor motor development. Three evaluation method was used in study. Postural Deformities were evaluated by PostureScreen Mobile App which is a mobile app allows to assess photographic body posture in four aspects (anterior, posterior, lateral) Postural Control was tested by Wii Balance Board. Wii balance board is a force plate that can measure person's center of gravity displacements Hand grip strength tested by Jamar Hand Dynamometer. It was completed according to American Hand Therapist's Association guidelines. All data collected from participants have analysed within the control group (typical developed children)

Body Posture Assessment
It is a photographic body posture assessment done by mobile app. It shows deviations of certain body parts such as head, shoulder, pelvis towards to gravitational line.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Postural Control Evaluation
It is a wii balance board which can be used as a force plate. It tests displacements of Center of Pressure and Velocity of Center of Pressure and That gives an opinion about balance.
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
Hand Grip Strength
It is a basic force measurement of hand grip with dynamometer
Time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year
