Abstract

Introduction: Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) may present deficits in motor coordination and the prior identification of these changes allows for the design of early intervention programs. Purpose: To evaluate the motor aspects of children diagnosed with ASD using the TGMD-3 test. Methods: A cross-sectional observational investigation was carried out in which the motor coordination of children with ASD was evaluated using the TGMD-3 test. The Shapiro-Wilk test was used to evaluate the normality of the data. Descriptive statistics were performed using the mean and standard deviation. The Wilcoxon test was used to verify the differences between locomotion skills and ball skills and between boys and girls. Statistics were performed using R-Studio software. The significance value adopted was p = 0.05. Results: 56 children with reported ASD (6.59 ± 2.4 years) participated in the study, who performed the TGMD-3 tasks and the majority presented delay or alteration of motor coordination. Furthermore, girls show slightly better results compared to boys. Conclusion: Children with ASD had delayed or impaired motor coordination and girls had slightly better results than boys. Assessment of children's motor coordination allows early interventions to be tracked, minimizing negative impacts on motor coordination.
