The relationship between self-concept and sensorimotor function was explored in a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design in which the Piers-Harris Children's Self-Concept Scale was administered to 16 children with learning difficulties. Test-retest reliability (temporal stability) was statistically supported. Statistically significant gains were made in the group's mean posttest score. Although conclusions were limited by design and sample size, it was suggested that the changes in self-concept are related to changes in body image and adaptive behavior due to the therapeutic camp program.
