Holloway, Jamie M.; Long, Toby M.; Biasini, Fred J. – Infants and Young Children, 2021
Many children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate movement difficulties in addition to problems with social communication and interactions, and repetitive or restrictive behaviors. The goal of early intervention for children with disabilities is to promote participation in routines and activities, but little is known about the role…

Bailey, Julie; Baker, Sara T. – Journal of Research in Special Educational Needs, 2020
Autistic pupils' full engagement with education can be limited by characteristics of their autism and features of the learning environment. We sought to identify which barriers to inclusion are most commonly and most frequently experienced and where gaps exist in the quantitative literature. In this systematic review, we followed the PRISMA…

Yilmaz, Atike; Mirze, Fatih – Journal of Education and Learning, 2020
The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of adapted play activities on physical fitness in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this study, the pretest-posttest design with a single experimental group was used. The sample of the study is comprised of 7 students with 7-13 years of age. In the measurement of physical…

West, Kelsey L. – Child Development, 2019
Studies of infant motor development in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have increased in recent years. This article synthesized this literature through meta-analysis to assess (a) whether infant motor ability differs in ASD relative to neurotypical controls; and (b) whether motor ability and communication are related in infants with ASD. Study 1…

Mannion, Lydia – Educational Psychology in Practice, 2022
This paper evaluates literature surrounding the effectiveness of Precision Teaching (PT) for improving the skill acquisition of children with autism. PT's aim is the attainment of behavioural fluency across educational and social contexts, as well as potentiality to enhance the learning of pupils with autism. This review evaluates the existing…

Bremer, Emily; Lloyd, Meghann – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
This study examined whether adaptive behaviour, emotional and behavioural challenges, and social skills, respectively, moderated the effect of a movement skill intervention on movement skills among preschool aged children with autism spectrum disorder. Twenty-seven participants with autism spectrum disorder (N = 13 experimental) between 3 and 5…

Sano, Misako; Yamaguchi, Kaori; Fukatsu, Reiko; Hoshiyama, Minoru – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: Motor deficits related to imitation have been observed in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) patients. This pilot investigation focused on motor performances, including daily tool-use actions, performing an action in the absence of the tool, and imitating (copying tool-use action presented visually), in eight children with ASD and eight…

Kunchulia, Marina; Tatishvili, Tamari; Parkosadze, Khatuna; Lomidze, Nino; Thomaschke, Roland – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2020
Objectives: We studied timed-based expectancy as well as general perceptual-motor speed in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: In Experiment 1, 11 children with ASD and 11 typically developing children (TD) (6-13 years) completed a binary choice response task in which foreperiod duration predicted the response target's location…

Barak, Sharon; Oz, Malca; Dagan, Nadav; Hutzler, Yeshayahu – Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities, 2019
Background: Soccer is the world's most popular sport. The present authors evaluated the effect of the Game of Life (GOL) soccer initiative on soccer skills, fitness and mobility of adults with intellectual disability (ID) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Methods: The programme is comprised of once-weekly sessions. Outcomes: soccer skills,…

Gladfelter, Allison; Goffman, Lisa – Developmental Science, 2018
Semantically rich learning contexts facilitate semantic, phonological, and articulatory aspects of word learning in children with typical development (TD). However, because children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show differences at each of these processing levels, it is unclear whether they will benefit from semantic cues in the same manner…

Demetriou, Eleni A.; Pepper, Karen L.; Park, Shin Ho; Pellicano, Liz; Song, Yun Ju C.; Naismith, Sharon L.; Hickie, Ian B.; Thomas, Emma E.; Guastella, Adam J. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2021
Sex differences in autism may in part be understood by an atypical sex profile of executive function and non-executive function. In this study, we compared females and males with autism against non-autistic individuals on neuropsychological and self-report measures to examine whether any sex differences in executive function and non-executive…

Tupou, Jessica; Waddington, Hannah; van der Meer, Larah; Sigafoos, Jeff – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2022
The Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) is a promising early intervention for promoting improved social, cognitive, and communication outcomes for young children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, most studies evaluating group-based delivery of this program have used 15-25 h per week of intervention in specialized ESDM preschools with low…

Fombonne, Eric; Green Snyder, LeeAnne; Daniels, Amy; Feliciano, Pamela; Chung, Wendy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined lifetime medical and psychiatric morbidity reported by caregivers of 2917 autistic adults participating in the US research cohort SPARK. Participants were 78.4% male, 47.3% had intellectual disability, and 32.1% had persistent language impairments. Childhood language disorders (59.7%), speech/articulation problems (32.8%),…

Achermann, Sheila; Nyström, Pär; Bölte, Sven; Falck-Ytter, Terje – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Atypical motor development has frequently been reported in infants at elevated likelihood for autism spectrum disorder. However, no previous study has used detailed motion capture technology to compare infant siblings of children with autism spectrum disorder and infant siblings with no familial history of autism spectrum disorder. We investigated…
