Three groups of twelve boys each were used in the sample for the intervention, which included a control group, a package of physical exercises, and a selection of corrective games. Oseretsky Bruininks Upper-limb coordination as well as gross and fine motor abilities were assessed using the Test of Motor Proficiency (BOT-2). Using SPSS version 23 software, the analysis of variance statistical test was used for the statistical analysis.
Results: The findings demonstrated that after a period of specific remedial games and physical exercises, the mean gross motor abilities considerably improved (P=0.01). Additionally, there was a significant difference in upper limb coordination (P=0.03), gross and fine motor skill total (P=0.02), and fine motor skill differences (P=0.03) between the two training groups.
Conclusion: The study's findings indicated that both programs had a positive impact on the motor abilities of youngsters diagnosed with autism spectrum condition. Furthermore, the findings indicated that the physical exercise program used in this study has shown significant impacts on the motor abilities of children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, in comparison to the chosen corrective games.
