The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ceramics activity program on the hand function of students with intellectual disabilities and the completion of ceramic art works. Four students with intellectual disabilities who meet the selection criteria of a single case experimental study was designed to among students with intellectual disabilities attending a special school in Busan metropolitan city. The 'pre-test - ceramic activity program - post-test' were executed to an experiment to investigate the effects of ceramics activity program on with students intellectual disabilities hand function and completion of ceramic art works. First, the ceramic activity program was effective in improving the hand function of the students with intellectual disabilities through the dominant hand, the weak hand, and both hands. Especially eye hand coordination and hand agility were improved in post - test than pre - test. It is considered that the ceramic activity program has a positive effect on all work processes such as pinching, round ball making, soil sticking, pushing and palm use, which are important in pottery works. Second, the ceramic activity program has a positive effect on the perfection of pottery works of students with intellectual disabilities. As the hand functions used in various molding techniques such as pinching, gypsum molding, plate molding, and coiling of ceramics activities gradually improved, the completion of ceramic works also improved. In addition, considering the characteristics of learning of students with intellectual disabilities, experience of ceramic activities, preference for soil as a main ingredient of pottery activities, and of ceramic activity programs. It is thought that ceramic works will be completed if they are repeatedly operated by adjusting. Therefore, if the ceramic activity program is carried out considering the characteristics of students with intellectual disabilities, the functions of the advanced hand and both hands as well as the developed dominant hand will be improved. In addition, the improvement of the hand function will be one of the ways to improve the performance of the vocational function, and if it is learned in connection with the vocational education, it will have a great influence on the social independence of the students with intellectual disability.

This study investigated the characteristics of generative naming of Korean-Chinese bilingual children with the comparison to the Korean and Chinese monolingual. It tries : 1) to compare the total number of words, the number of clusters, the size of clusters, and the number of switches in the generative naming of semantic and phonetic, 2) to examine the correlation of the period of stay, reading time, chinese private lesson time in the generative naming of semantic and phonetic, and 3) to investigate lexical effect of four conditions(Korean-only, Chinese-only, Free-switch, Forced-switch)of bilingual children in the generative naming of semantic. Subjects who participated in this study were 15 Korean-Chinese bilinguals and 15 Chinese monolinguals living in China, 15 Korean monolinguals living in Korea in aged fully 11-years old. Bilingual children performed 4 conditions( ‘animals’ category in Korean-only, ‘things to buy in the market’ category in Chinese-only, ‘vegetables’ category in Free-switch, and ‘foods’ category in Forced-switch conditions) in the semantic categories, and /ᄀ/, /ᄉ/, /D/, /L/ in the phonetic. The following were the results of this experiment. First, In the semantic categories of generative naming, there was a significant difference in the number of clusters. Second, In the phonetic categories of generative naming, the total number of words and the number of clusters in chinese phonetic of /D/ were significantly different. Third, the correlation of the period of stay, reading time, Chinese private lesson compared with the semantic and phonetic total number of words. According to the results, there was a significant correlation in chinese private lesson and ‘things to buy in the market’ category in Chinese and then reading time and chinese phonetic of /D/. The fourth, In the generative naming of semantic, we examined lexical effect of four conditions of bilingual children. the result showed less the both-languages conditions than the Korean-only and Chinese-only conditions, and higher Forced-switch condition than Free-switch. This study is meaningful to suggesting standard data about generative naming ability for Korean-Chinese bilingual children.
