Study summary

this study is to explore the degree of impairement in movement skills in children with autistic spectrum disorders

Read the detailed description

Motor impairments in neurodevelopmental disorders specifically autism spectrum disorder (ASD) , are prevalent and pervasive . However ,sensori-motor development and self-care activities such as bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, remain little explored in comparison to the other areas of development. Some children with ASD have difficulty mastering self-care skills, which we will call daily living skills .
