The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of selected programs (including agility, speed, visual and auditory stimulation, mirror training, etc.) on the simple and choice response reaction time of children with developmental coordination disorder. Materials and Methods: In this research, a semi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test design was used for two groups of experimental and control children (DCD). A sample of 30 children (DCD) was selected using random sampling method. A pre-test was performed for both groups, and the speed of visual response, visual choice and auditory simplicity of the groups was measured by a four-way reaction speed measuring instrument. The experimental group was then tested for 12 session by selected exercises. The posttest was performed for both groups of children. The statistical methods included Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, and Covariance test. The results showed that the exercises for 8 weeks significantly improved the visual response rate (P = 0/001, t = -4/30), visual selectivity (p = 0/006, t =- 3/34), simple listening (P =0/.001, t =-5 /19) in the training group compared to the pretest. The results show that there is a significant correlation between the speeds of the children's response to the children (DCD), which is practiced.
