Sažetak

The purpose of this study was to examine the development of motor skills in hearing-impaired pupils with cochlear implants (CI). Sixteen pupils with CIs, aged 12.37 years (SD 4.42), who attended regular educational programs, and seventeen hearing pupils, aged 12.64 years (SD 3.69), participated in the study using the Bruininks - Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency. The results demonstrated that a very high percentage of pupils with CIs scored below the average range in all subtests. Even poorer results were between the observed groups found in the subtests assessing gross motor skills. The most significant differences were found in the subsets of upper limb coordination, bilateral coordination, and balance. It was noticed that hearing children performed significantly better than those with CIs.
