The objective of the present study was to investigate the relationship between language development and the development of drawing ability in mentally disabled children. Language tests, motor skill tasks, and drawing tasks were carried out for 23 mentally disabled children. For drawing tasks, children were instructed to draw freestyle and portrait pictures, which were classified into four developmental stages. The relationships between the development of drawing ability and language development in addition to motor skill development were then analyzed. The results indicated that the development of drawing ability was related to language expression, and vocabulary age development. Regarding language development, children who were capable of drawing "design" and "picture" were able to express sequences of >__-3 words. Still more, children who were capable of drawing "picture" were >__-54-month vocabulary age. Drawings, which do not require language ability, are thought to be useful for evaluating children with developmental disorders. In the future, we plan to conduct more detailed analysis on a greater number of subjects after standardizing conditions such as the sequence of tasks.
