Brief summary
To investigate the relationship between cognitive function, the severity of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and the development of fine and gross motor skills in children with ASD
Detailed description
A sample of 64 children with autism aged from 5 to 12 years recruited from centres and schools of special needs for intellectual and developmental disabilities to measure cognitive function using the Raven's Progressive Matrices and measure the severity of autism using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS). These assessments will then be compared with the children's fine and gross motor abilities
Interventions
measuring cognitive functions by RAVEN measuring severity by CARS measuring fine and gross motor functions by BOT2
