About this trial
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.

Ayre's Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises
Other interventionAyres' 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.

Primary outcomes

TGMD-2
The Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) is a standardized assessment used to evaluate gross motor skills in children aged 3-10 years. It measures locomotor and object control skills, with each performance criterion scored as 1 (present) or 0 (absent). The raw score for each subtest ranges from 0 (lowest) to 48 (highest), while the overall Gross Motor Quotient (GMQ) ranges from 46 to 160, with higher scores indicating better motor performance.
