Exclusion Criteria:
Sensory Integration Therapy and Deep Pressure Therapy Combined Effect on Motor Coordination and Stereotypic Behaviors
Other: Sensory Integration therapy and Deep Pressure therapy
Sensory Integration Therapy's Effect alone on Motor Coordination and Stereotypic Behaviors
Other: Sensory Integration Therapy
Basic sensory integration activities targeting tactile, vestibular, visual, and proprioceptive systems + deep pressure therapy through joint compressions and firm tactile input. Sessions will be conducted 3 times per week for 8 weeks (total 24 sessions), with each session lasting 45 minutes.

Change in motor coordination as measured by the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (BOT-2)
The BOT-2 is a standardized, performance-based test of fine and gross motor skills. Performance is converted to standard scores (mean 50, SD 10), and higher scores indicate better motor proficiency. Motor coordination will be measured as the change from baseline (week 0) to mid-intervention (week 4) and to post-intervention (week 8).
Time frame: Baseline (week 0), week 4, and week 8
Change in stereotypic behavior as measured by the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R)
The RBS-R is a 43-item caregiver-rated scale. Each item is scored 0 to 3, and higher scores indicate more severe repetitive behavior. The Stereotyped Behavior subscale (6 items, score range 0 to 18) will be used to measure stereotypic behavior as the change from baseline (week 0) to week 4 and to week 8.
Time frame: Baseline (week 0), week 4, and week 8
