Summary
This study tests whether Ayre's Sensory-Motor Integration Exercises, a type of play therapy, can help children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improve their sensory processing and motor skills. The trial will involve 28 children aged 9-11, with half receiving 12 sessions of the exercises and the other half receiving standard care. The goal is to see if these fun, sensory-based activities can make a real difference in how children move and process the world around them.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, play-based therapy to help children with autism improve their coordination and sensory processing.
