• 1 other identifier: P.T.REC/012/005056
• Study Type: observational
• Target: 64

Brief Summary

To investigate the relationship between cognitive function, the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with ASD

Conditions

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Keywords

AUTISM; ASD; RAVEN; CARS; BOT2; FINE MOTOR SKILLS; Gross motor skills

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• measuring motor proficiency (gross & fine motor skills ) by using BOT2 scale

  12 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• measuring cognitive functions by RAVEN Progressive matrices

  12 weeks

Other Outcomes (1)

• measuring severity of autism by using CARS scale

  12 weeks

Study Arms (1)

observational group

We will assess cognitive function using the Raven's Progressive Matrices and measure the severity of autism using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). These assessments will then be compared with the children's fine and gross motor abilities using BOT2 .

Behavioral: measuring cognitive functions, severity of autism , gross and fine motor skills

Interventions

measuring cognitive functions, severity of autism , gross and fine motor skills BEHAVIORAL

measuring cognitive functions by RAVEN measuring severity by CARS measuring fine and gross motor functions by BOT2
