“…Some of such studies confirmed this claim by comparing the scores of Peabody test and Bayley test in children with autism and their typical peers. The result showed significant delay and differences in gross and fine motor skills in ASD children in comparison to the control group [10].…”

Objectives: Although social deficits are the main features of autism, children in autism spectrum disorder often too display difficulties with posture, coordination and motor planning. As such, poor motor skills are believed to be associated with greater difficulties in social communication. Some recent studies show that music can improve the sensory processing and motor functions by affecting brain connectivity. The present study aims to examine the effect of movement activities in synchronization with music on motor proficiency of 7 to 14 years old children with low functioning autism. Materials & Methods:A double-blind randomized controlled trial design was used in this study. Twenty two subjects participated in the study and assigned into experimental and control groups randomly. The interventions consisted of movement activities with music for experimental group and without music for control group. Motor proficiency of subjects such as balance performance, bilateral coordination and upper limb coordination were assessed by trained independent evaluator before the treatment and also after 12 th and 24 th therapeutic sessions using 3 subtests of Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency (BOTMP). The effect of interventions in two groups were compared by repeated measures ANOVA. Results:The results indicated that both interventions improved motor performance in the participants but the effects of interventions on balance performance (P<0.001), bilateral coordination (P<0.05) and upper limb coordination (P<0.001) were significantly different between the two groups. Conclusion:Movement therapy is beneficial for children with autism, but movement activities in synchronization with music can accelerate improvements in motor proficiency of these children.

“…For example, no differences in running, jumping, throwing, catching, and balance were found between children with autism and those with mental retardation in a study by Morin and Reid (1985). A more recent study found no differences between children with autism 21-41 months of age and children with general developmental delays in reflexes, balance, locomotion, grasping, object manipulation, or visual-motor integration (Provost et al 2006). Similarly, Rogers and colleagues did not find differences in fine motor maturity or motor planning in 2-year-olds with autism compared to developmentally matched typical and atypical groups (Rogers et al 2003).…”

“…Most studies have focused on older children with autism. The only studies of preschool-aged children provide mixed results, with one documenting gross and fine motor deficits relative to typical controls but not mental-age matched controls with developmental delays (Provost et al 2006) and the other finding no differences relative to either group (Rogers et al 2003).…”

Gross motor development (supine, prone, rolling, sitting, crawling, walking) and movement abnormalities were examined in the home videos of infants later diagnosed with autism (regression and no regression subgroups), developmental delays (DD), or typical development. Group differences in maturity were found for walking, prone, and supine, with the DD and © Springer Scicnce+Business Media, LLC 2007 Correspondence to: Sally Ozonoff, sjo7.onoff@ucdavis.edu. HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptAutism-No Regression groups both showing later developing motor maturity than typical children. The only statistically significant differences in movement abnormalities were in the DD group; the two autism groups did not differ from the typical group in rates of movement abnormalities or lack of protective responses. These findings do not replicate previous investigations suggesting that early motor abnormalities seen on home video can assist in early identification of autism.

Background: Autistic children had various behavior limitations. These limitations result from defects in interaction and integration of perceptual and sensory processing. Aim:Our study aimed to determine whether gamification replace sensory integration training in autistic children or not.Methods: Thirty children (nineteen boys and eleven girls) suffering from autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) conducted to this study. They were divided randomly into two age and sex matched groups. Each child in group I applied Wii training for (30 min, three sessions per week for 6 months). Each child in group II conducted to sensory integration program (30 min, three sessions per week for 6 months). Results:Post treatment mean values of the calculated variables were compared and revealed significant promotion in fine motor skills for both groups with favor of sensory integration group. Conclusion:Virtual reality games do not replace sensory integration and open environment training in autistic children.
