Kinetic sand play tested as therapy for kids with autism

This study looks at whether playing with kinetic sand can help children with autism improve their balance and hand-eye coordination. Seventeen children aged 6 to 12 will take part in 30-minute play sessions, three times a week for six weeks. The activities include molding shapes and finding hidden objects. Researchers will measure changes in how far the children can reach and how well they can place small pegs.
