Motor Intervention, Motor Skills, and Dual Task in ASD
Examining the Effect of a Motor Intervention Program Applied to Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder on Autism-Related Symptoms, Gross Motor Skills, and Dual Task Performance
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 4 Feb 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
This study is designed to understand whether a structured movement (motor) program can help improve movement skills and daily functioning in young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The study will include children aged 4-6 years who have been diagnosed with ASD. Some children will take part in a 12-week motor intervention program in addition to their regular individual education at special education centers. This program will include movement activities twice a week, each session lasting about one hour. Other children will continue with their usual individual education only. Before and after the 12-week period, all children will be assessed using simple and age-appropriate tools to evaluate their motor skills, ability to perform tasks that require both movement and attention at the same time, and autism-related behaviors. These assessments are commonly used in child development and do not involve any invasive procedures. The goal of this study is to determine whether participating in a regular movement program can support motor development, coordination, and daily activity participation in children with ASD. Improving these skills at an early age may help children become more independent in daily life and enhance their overall quality of life. The findings of this study may provide useful information for families, educators, and health care professionals and help improve movement-based practices in special education settings.
