Baseline behaviour moderates movement skill intervention outcomes among young children with autism spectrum disorder / Emily BREMER in Autism, 26-7 (October 2022)

These skills are important for participation in play and physical activity. Previous research has found that movement skills can be improved with movement skill interventions. This study explored the behavioural factors of young children with autism spectrum disorder that make them most likely to improve their movement skills following a 12-week intervention. The study found that children with higher levels of adaptive behaviour and lower levels of emotional and behavioural challenges at the start of the intervention were more likely to have greater improvements in their movement skills following the intervention. These findings may help clinicians and caregivers plan which types of interventions are best suited for individual children with autism spectrum disorder.

Effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention for 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study / Emily BREMER in Autism, 19-8 (November 2015)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 19-8 (November 2015) . - p.980-991 Titre : Effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention for 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot study Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily BREMER, Auteur ; Robert BALOGH, Auteur ; Meghann LLOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.980-991 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  behavior  fundamental motor skills  intervention  play  preschool Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : A wait-list control experimental design was employed to investigate the effectiveness of a fundamental motor skill intervention at improving the motor skills, adaptive behavior, and social skills of 4-year-old children with autism spectrum disorder (experimental n?=?5, control n?=?4); the impact of intervention intensity was also explored. The experimental group significantly improved their object manipulation and overall motor scores from pre- to post-intervention. The wait-list control design revealed no group-by-time interactions; however, with the groups combined time was a significant factor for all motor variables. There were no significant changes in adaptive behavior and social skills. These preliminary findings suggest that a fundamental motor skill intervention may benefit young children with autism spectrum disorder. Future research with larger samples is warranted.

Motor skills of toddlers with autism spectrum disorders / Meghann LLOYD in Autism, 17-2 (March 2013)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 17-2 (March 2013) . - p.133-146 Titre : Motor skills of toddlers with autism spectrum disorders Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Meghann LLOYD, Auteur ; Megan MACDONALD, Auteur ; Catherine LORD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.133-146 Mots-clés : autism spectrum disorder  early development  fine motor skills  gross motor skills  motor development  toddlers Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : With increased interest in the early diagnosis and treatment of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), more attention has been called to the motor skills of very young children with ASD. This study describes the gross and fine motor skills of a cross-sectional group of 162 children with ASD between the ages of 12 and 36 months, as well as a subset of 58 children followed longitudinally. Gross motor and fine motor age equivalent scores were obtained for all children. A ‘motor difference’ variable was calculated for each child’s gross and fine motor skills by taking the absolute difference of the children’s age equivalent motor score and their respective chronological age. In Study 1 (the cross-sectional analysis), ANCOVA (co-varied for nonverbal problem solving) revealed significant group differences in the gross motor and fine motor age difference variables. Post-hoc analysis revealed that gross motor and fine motor differences became significantly greater with each 6-month period of chronological age. In Study 2, 58 children were measured twice, an average of 12 months apart. Results indicate that the gross motor and fine motor difference scores significantly increased between the first and second measurements. The importance of addressing motor development in early intervention treatments is discussed.

A systematic review of the behavioural outcomes following exercise interventions for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder / Emily BREMER in Autism, 20-8 (November 2016)  

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism > 20-8 (November 2016) . - p.899-915 Titre : A systematic review of the behavioural outcomes following exercise interventions for children and youth with autism spectrum disorder Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Emily BREMER, Auteur ; Michael CROZIER, Auteur ; Meghann LLOYD, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.899-915 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : children  exercise  intervention  social-emotional functioning  stereotypic behaviour  systematic review  youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : The purpose of this review was to systematically search and critically analyse the literature pertaining to behavioural outcomes of exercise interventions for individuals with autism spectrum disorder aged ?16?years. This systematic review employed a comprehensive peer-reviewed search strategy, two-stage screening process and rigorous critical appraisal, which resulted in the inclusion of 13 studies. Results demonstrated that exercise interventions consisting individually of jogging, horseback riding, martial arts, swimming or yoga/dance can result in improvements to numerous behavioural outcomes including stereotypic behaviours, social-emotional functioning, cognition and attention. Horseback riding and martial arts interventions may produce the greatest results with moderate to large effect sizes, respectively. Future research with well-controlled designs, standardized assessments, larger sample sizes and longitudinal follow-ups is necessary, in addition to a greater focus on early childhood (aged 0–5?years) and adolescence (aged 12–16?years), to better understand the extent of the behavioural benefits that exercise may provide these populations.
