Visual processing shows that children have difficulty in performing activities like dressing, eating and toileting.
Impact of sensory processing dysfunction on fine motor skills in autism spectrum disorders
Physiotherapy Quarterly, 2021
Introduction. Children with autism spectrum disorders predominantly exhibit social impairment but significant physical features are manifested as motor delays and deficits affecting their daily living. Though sensory integration is a basic component required for motor skills, the impact of sensory processing dysfunction on fine motor skills is not clear, which is explored in this study. Methods. This cross sectional study was carried out in Vidya Sudha – school for children with special needs. overall, 56 children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders with the Childhood Autism Rating Scale were included in the study. Peabody developmental Motor Scale-2 was used to assess the level of their fine motor skill, and the sensory profile served to evaluate their sensory processing dysfunction. Results.

Prevalence of sensory behaviours in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder on short sensory profile
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ADVANCE RESEARCH, IDEAS AND INNOVATIONS IN TECHNOLOGY
The purpose of the study was to find out the performance of children with ASD belongs to Ahmedabad city by using SSP. It will be useful to understand their behaviour with the help of the caregivers of the children. 50 children with ASD were approached on different platforms and incorporated in the study on the basis of the inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. The sample does not represent the entire population of children with ASD; therefore the study can be done with a larger sample size. Seventy-Eight (78%) children with ASD diagnosed with a definite and probable difference. Eighty-six (86%) children with ASD obtained a combined score of definite difference and probable differences in Tactile Sensitivity and Under responsive/Seeks Sensation and 64% in auditory filtering. Typical performance of children with ASD was also seen during the research. Forty (40%) children with ASD showed typical performance in Taste/Smell Sensitivity, 38% in Movement Sensitivity, 42% in Low energy/Weak and 46% in Visual/Auditory sensitivity. From the result of this study, different sensory patterns in children with ASD have been revealed. It can be treated with the SIT and with the help of it the child's performance can be improved. SIT can positively affect motor skills, socialization, attention, behaviour control, reading skills, participation in-game activities, and the achievement of personal goals. This study recognizes the importance of assessing the performance of children from different cultural contexts, particularly in relation to their everyday functioning or occupation.
Caregivers’ Perspective About the Levels of Sensory Processing Problems in Children With Autism
2018
Background: Children with autism should interact and get along with their surrounding environment. Therefore, the researchers must try to explain the reasons of challenges in their adaptive behaviors. This study aimed to evaluate levels of challenges in sensory processing and the motor domain of adaptive behavior among children with autism in Egypt, and to explore the effect of sensory processing on subdomains of gross and fine motor skills. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. Study questionnaires were distributed to 180 caregivers of children with autism in Cairo, Egypt, between July 2017 and February 2018. The caregivers were selected by convenience sampling method. The questionnaires used were the sensory checklist and adaptive behavior scales. Descriptive statistics and comparing means were used to determine the levels of sensory processing and motor domain of adaptive behavior. Linear regression analyses was used to test the effects of sensory domains on motor areas. SPSS-PC V. 25 was used to analyze the obtained data. Results: The results demonstrated various problems in children’s sensory processing and the motor domain of adaptive behavior. Caregivers reported that 96.67% of the children had frequent sensory challenges in at least one component of sensory domains, mostly in visual system (27.2%). Subdomain of fine motor skills (Mean=1.4951) showed higher challenges than gross motor skills (Mean=1.9455). This study proved significant inverse effect for movement processing on gross motor subdomain at α=0.05. Conclusion: Parents of children with autism, occupational therapists, and other healthcare practitioners should gain in-depth knowledge regarding their children’s behaviors and their possible reasons. Highlights ● About 96.67% of children with autism have sensory challenges in at least one sensory domain. ● Almost 74.4% of these children got scores more than 2 SD below the typical mean of Vineland scores. ● The subdomain of fine motor skills in these children showed higher challenges than gross motor skills. ● This study proved significant inverse effect for the movement processing on gross motor skills of autism children. Plain Language Summary Autism is a disorder that limits persons’ ability to interact with others. It affects social communication, language, and sensory processing. Autism is characterized by many manifestations, one of them is sensory processing disorder, which refers to unusual receiving, organizing, and interpreting sensory stimuli. Sensory processing disorder may be over-responsivity, under-responsivity, or sensory seeking. Sensory processing disorder affects adaptive behavior i.e. a person’s ability to function independently. This study aimed to evaluate challenges in sensory processing and the motor domain of adaptive behavior among children with autism in Egypt, and also to explore the effect of sensory processing on subdomains of gross and fine motor skills. The results showed various challenges in children’s sensory processing and the motor domain of adaptive behavior.

Sensory-motor problems in Autism
Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2013
Despite being largely characterized as a social and cognitive disorder, strong evidence indicates the presence of significant sensory-motor problems in Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). This paper outlines our progression from initial, broad assessment using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC2) to subsequent targeted kinematic assessment. In particular, pronounced ASD impairment seen in the broad categories of manual dexterity and ball skills was found to be routed in specific difficulties on isolated tasks, which were translated into focused experimental assessment. Kinematic results from both subsequent studies highlight impaired use of perception-action coupling to guide, adapt and tailor movement to task demands, resulting in inflexible and rigid motor profiles. In particular difficulties with the use of temporal adaption are shown, with "hyperdexterity" witnessed in ballistic movement profiles, often at the cost of spatial accuracy and task performance. By linearly progressing from the use of a standardized assessment tool to targeted kinematic assessment, clear and defined links are drawn between measureable difficulties and underlying sensory-motor assessment. Results are specifically viewed in-light of perception-action coupling and its role in early infant development suggesting that rather than being "secondary" level impairment, sensory-motor problems may be fundamental in the progression of ASD. This logical and systematic process thus allows a further understanding into the potential root of observable motor problems in ASD; a vital step if underlying motor problems are to be considered a fundamental aspect of autism and allow a route of non-invasive preliminary diagnosis.

Sensory integration (SI)-based intervention programs aim to improve the motor performance of children with moderate autism spectrum disorder (MASD), which may contribute to the development of their gross and fine motor skills. This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of a SI-based training program in developing gross and fine motor skills in 70 children with MASD aged 6–9 years (M = 7.11, SD ± 1.19) and selected intentionally from a daycare center in Al-Ahsa in Saudi Arabia. The study used the quasi-experimental approach and followed the experimental design with two groups, which were randomly distributed and examined for equivalence. The study also used the Gross Motor Skills Scale (GMSS), the Fine Motor Skills Scale (FMSS), and the training program based on SI. The study found that the experimental group had significantly higher post-test scores in the GMSS and the FMSS than the control group, with these differences being statistically significant. However, no significant difference was observed between the post-test scores and the follow-up test scores within the experimental group, indicating stability in their performance over time. This indicates the effectiveness of the training program used in developing the targeted skills and the continuation of the training effect after the program’s application period. The study suggests that children should use SI-based training programs to enhance their motor skills.

The purpose of the study was to compare the performance of children with and without ASD by using SSP. The SSP was filled up by the caregivers of the children. Age and Gender matched 50 children with and without ASD were approached on different platforms and incorporated in the study on the basis of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Seventy Eight (78%) children with ASD diagnosed with definite and probable difference and performed differently than children without ASD. These children demonstrated some degree of sensory processing dysfunction. Eighty six (86%) children with ASD obtained a combined score of definite difference and probable differences in Tactile Sensitivity and Underresponsive/Seeks Sensation and 64% in Auditory filtering. Tactile Sensitivity, Underresponsive/Seeks Sensation and Auditory filtering sections become the most sensitive sections for children with ASD. The sample does not represent the entire population of children with ASD and without ASD; therefore the st...
Motor skills of children with autism spectrum disorder
Revista Brasileira de Cineantropometria & Desempenho Humano, 2019
The objective of this study is to describe variables of life habits associated with motor skills of children with autism spectrum disorder aged 8-10 years living in the city of Pelotas / RS. A questionnaire about lifestyle was applied and the Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) was applied to assess motor skills. Independent T-test, ANOVA and Wilcoxon test were used to compare means. The study consisted of 49 individuals (42 males). The results indicate that the higher the level of ASD, the better the motor skills. Children making use of medications have greater deficits in motor skills. Higher scores on motor skills are associated with greater participation in physical education classes. Motor skills are strongly associated with independence in activities of the daily living, food, personal hygiene, dressing and bathing. The importance of the creation of PA programs aiming at improving the motor skills of this population was highlighted.
