Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the effectiveness of plasticine media in improving fine motor skills in children with intellectual disabilities through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR). Children with intellectual disabilities often experience limitations in fine motor skills, which affect their ability to perform daily activities such as writing, grasping small objects, buttoning clothes, and wearing shoes. This review analyzes five relevant articles published between 2020 and 2024, with research criteria focusing on the use of plasticine to enhance fine motor abilities in children with intellectual disabilities. The results of the SLR indicate that the use of plasticine media consistently improves fine motor skills, including finger strength, hand-eye coordination, and finger flexibility.
