Abstract

This paper presents the results of research aimed at comparing the levels of manual skills of pupils with a mild intellectual disability (MID) with those of intact children. More importantly, it aims at the changes which should occur during attendance of the first grade of primary school. A simple disassembly and assembly of a construction kit by the pupils was used for data collection. The research sample consisted of 257 children with an average age of 8 years (in the first phase of primary education), or 10.5 years (in the second phase of primary education). The results show the differences between the two groups of pupils when completing tasks with varying degree of difficulty, and the changes in the performance between younger and older pupils.
