Brief Summary

Autism is the most prevalent disorder as it affects attention, awareness, cognitive development, social development, and emotional aspects too. It is one of the comprehensive developmental disorders in the early stage, which is characterized by weak social learning and communication, limited activities, interests, learning, insufficient imaginative and stereotypical thinking or non-functional thinking of movements and verbalities. A lack of sensory perception leads to a leading autistic child\'s sensitivity to sensory stimuli or weak sensitivity and the child is not aware of the surrounding environment.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• THE DEVELOPMENTAL COORDINATION The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire

  The Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire (DCDQ) is a parent-report screening tool for identifying motor coordination difficulties in children aged 5 to 15 years, 11 months. It includes 15 items across three domains: Control During Movement, Fine Motor/Handwriting, and General Coordination, rated on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores below age-specific cutoffs suggest potential Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). It is reliable, quick (10-15 min), but not diagnostic, requiring further evaluation.

  10-15 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Short Sensory Profile

  2-5 hours

Study Arms (2)

Individual ASD Children

EXPERIMENTAL

Activities were applied individually for the IND group. Individual training was applied according to the treatment protocol, activities done by step by step from simple to complex. Each activities for individuals training will be applied for 2 hours, three sessions per week, for ten successive months

Other: Sensory Perceptual Motor Training on Individual

Group of ASD Children

EXPERIMENTAL

Activities were applied in group . Group training was applied according to the treatment protocol, activities done by step by step from simple to complex. each activities for group training will be applied for 2 hours, three sessions per week, for ten successive months

Other: Sensory Perceptual Motor Training on Group

Interventions

Sensory Perceptual Motor Training on Group OTHER

1. Sensory Input * Wheelbarrow walks, swimming, and drying off. 2. Proprioceptive * Climbing, pushing, pulling, and carrying heavy objects. 3. Vestibular * Swinging, trampolining, and playground games. 4. Tactile * Stereognosis training, textured paths, and messy play (mud, sand). 5. Motor Planning * Statue spinning, crawling through/under objects, and quick movements. 6. Balance and Posture * Various balance positions (e.g., hands and knees). 7. Ocular Control * Catching and tossing balls. 8. Bilateral Coordination * Activities using both sides of the body (e.g., stick ball). 9. Visual-Spatial * Walking, stair climbing, and puzzles. 10. Fine Motor Skills * Puzzles, bead stringing, and drawing. 11. Gross Motor * Standing, walking, running, and throwing games.
