Abstract

Sports play an essential role in the lives of individuals and communities, reflecting the advancement and sophistication of nations. Some countries are renowned for their athletic prowess and dedication to sports, enhancing their overall health. Children, especially in the preschool stage, are inclined towards physical play, which meets their basic needs and contributes to their physical, mental, psychological, and social development. Childhood is the foundation for personality formation and skill development.

Modeling is a crucial process in behavior modification, where individuals learn by observing and imitating others' behaviors. Children, including those with intellectual disabilities, need play and physical activities to develop their abilities. These activities aid their physical, mental, and social growth, enabling better interaction with their surroundings. Motor education programs are significant in enhancing children's cognitive abilities through activities like balance, catching, passing, and pushing, which rely on hand-eye-foot coordination.

Developing motor skills is vital for children, including those with intellectual disabilities, to help them integrate and participate in sports and social activities. This helps them succeed and prove themselves. The researcher, working with these children, recognized the importance of play and physical activities, designing a program using modeling to teach them basic skills, thus enhancing their social interaction and capabilities.
