Neuromotor Task Training in Autistic Children With Motor Difficulties
Evaluation of the Effectiveness of the Neuromotor Task Training Approach in the Rehabilitation of Motor Difficulties in Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Single-Case Experimental Design Study
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 25 Sept 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
The goal of this clinical study is to learn whether Neuromotor Task Training (NTT) may help improve functional motor skills in autistic children who have motor difficulties. The main question it aims to answer is: Does Neuromotor Task Training help autistic children improve a motor skill that is difficult for them in daily life? This study will include autistic children with motor difficulties. Each child will work on one functional motor skill chosen according to their needs and daily-life goals. Examples may include skills such as catching a ball, jumping rope, putting on a coat, or another meaningful motor task. Participants will take part in an initial assessment of their motor abilities. They will then choose, with their family and the researcher, a functional motor skill to work on. The selected skill will be assessed repeatedly before, during, and after the training period. Participants will receive Neuromotor Task Training sessions focused on this skill. They will also be followed after the training period to see whether the motor skill is maintained. Neuromotor Task Training is a task-oriented rehabilitation approach. It focuses on practicing meaningful motor skills in conditions that are progressively adapted to the child. The task, the environment, and the feedback provided by the therapist may be adjusted during the sessions to support motor learning. This study uses a single-case experimental design. This means that each participant's progress is measured repeatedly over time. The researchers will examine whether motor performance changes after the start of the training and whether these changes are maintained after the training period.

Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other illness
- Intelligence quotient below 70, when documented, or severe cognitive impairment preventing understanding of the tasks or participation in the training sessions.
- Medical, neurological, orthopedic, or sensory condition that would contraindicate participation in motor training.
- Uncontrolled epilepsy or any unstable medical condition that could interfere with participation.
Other
- Severe behavioral difficulties making repeated assessment or motor training impossible.
- Ongoing participation in another interventional study that could interfere with the outcomes of this study.
Who the study is looking for
- Children aged 6 to 10 years.
- Diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.
- Presence of motor difficulties documented by clinical assessment and/or standardized motor assessment.
- Ability to understand and participate in the proposed motor training sessions.
- Written informed consent from the child's legal representative(s).
- Child assent whenever possible, according to age and level of understanding.
- Participation in the usual care pathway at the investigating center.
