Motor skill disorder of children with autism spectrum disorder / 中国实用儿科杂志

ABSTRACT

Children with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)may suffer from motor skill dysfunction,and perform as motor delay,coordination disorder,fitness decline,visual-motor integration disorder and so on,which disturb their daily life,school-based activities,and other social activities. Due to the obvious core symptoms of children with ASD,the problem of motor skills may be ignored. Children with ASD should be monitored for the motor development at their early stage and be evaluated with proper assessment tools. Children with ASD should be trained with individualized plan according to their features in order to develop motor skills and improve the core symptoms. As evidence of motor intervention for children with ASD is increasing,we should pay more attention to the motor skill dysfunction problem in children with ASD and make them benefit from the motor intervention and sport program.
