Abstract(in English) To improve the ability of "visual-motor coordination" of children with cerebral palcy, We have carried out the trainings using personal computer which focus on linking the target with the object shown in the screen. Participants on the 7 and 8 years old. Two children of 7 and 8 years old with cerebral palcy of spastic diplegia joined the traning. They have no experience of computer operation we employed the joystick interface and the display is projected on to large screen. The result of the training which is instructed to link the seesaw with the swinging rectangle showed that it is difficult for them to operate. Hence the game style is changed to the shooting type. Two participants exhibited the inprovement in the hit rate at the beginning of the training, but after that the score is not improved significantly. Time to finish all the targets (20) is slightly shortered through training. One of the participants is poor at shooting the outermost targets of both sides and the other has difficulty to choot the targets at right middle position.
