Description The paper deals with the possible use of psychomotorics in the communication development in pupils with learning disorders. Via a pedagogical experiment we have attempted to define some characteristics of school age pupils in relation to motor activities, especially sensomotorics (spatial orientation and balance). We have attempted to influence these characteristics via a pedagogical experiment containing psychomotor activities, in relation to childrens communication. The results of this year experiment prove the importance of psychomotorics at schools. Using simple play activities we may find improvements in the area of spatial orientation, balance as well as verbal and nonverbal communication skills in children with learning disorders. Furthermore, statistically significant differences in tests of attention were proved.
