This study was bom from the need to assess the praxic skills relating to the use of the object in the early stages of acquisi-tion. At school, in a comprehensive assessment protocol, to assess the ability to use objects of daily use at an early age is particularly important for early identification of praxic dif-ficulties. The study involved the participation of forty-two children from two schools including eighteen males and twen-ty-four females from four to six years. To detect the level of the development of praxic skills, it is used the T-GAP (Analysis Grid of Transitive praxis by Rampoldi & Ferretti, 2011) in two stages: at the beginning and at the end of a motor activity program. The results showed a clear improvement of the transitive praxis of children: from a percentile of 5°, 10° and 25°, it has gone to 50° and 75°. In conclusion it is important to act in the early stage of ac-quisition with a focused motor activity program in order to provide the basis for future coordination skills of children.

Abstract
This study was bom from the need to assess the praxic skills relating to the use of the object in the early stages of acquisi-tion. At school, in a comprehensive assessment protocol, to assess the ability to use objects of daily use at an early age is particularly important for early identification of praxic dif-ficulties. The study involved the participation of forty-two children from two schools including eighteen males and twen-ty-four females from four to six years. To detect the level of the development of praxic skills, it is used the T-GAP (Analysis Grid of Transitive praxis by Rampoldi & Ferretti, 2011) in two stages: at the beginning and at the end of a motor activity program. The results showed a clear improvement of the transitive praxis of children: from a percentile of 5°, 10° and 25°, it has gone to 50° and 75°. In conclusion it is important to act in the early stage of ac-quisition with a focused motor activity program in order to provide the basis for future coordination skills of children.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
