One with cerebral palsy, two with developmental delay, one with mental retardation and two with Down’s syndrome. Interdisciplinary group pro-gram was applied 4 times per a week. For the evaluation of occupational performance, AMPS was used.Results : 5 children improved in AMPS motor skills and 4 children improved in process skills statistically.Conclusion : AMPS was usable for presenting to show children’s occupational performance and their changed skills through group program.
