Summary

This study will adopt a quasi-experimental design, featuring assessments before and after the intervention for both the experimental and control groups. We plan to recruit thirty children aged 9 to 11 years, all diagnosed with ASD, from a local clinical setting. Participants will be randomly assigned to either a treatment group, which will undergo 12 sessions of sensory-motor integration exercises, or a control group that will receive standard care. Each session will include structured sensory-based activities based on Ayres Sensory Integration® principles.

Interventions

OTHERAyre's Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises

Ayres' Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises are play-based therapeutic activities designed to improve how children process sensory information. They target tactile, proprioceptive, and vestibular systems through tasks like swinging, balancing, crawling, and object manipulation. Sessions are individualized and child-centered to promote adaptive responses, motor coordination, and functional skills.
