Summary

This study tested a 12-week motor support program in 28 children aged 4-6 with autism. The program added 40-minute sessions twice a week to regular special education. Researchers measured changes in gross motor skills, sensory processing, and autism symptoms using standard tests. The goal was to see if extra motor practice could help these children move and respond better.
