Psychomotor therapy as a treatment for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)

Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is one of the most complex neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by impaired social interaction and communication and the presence of restrictive or repetitive behaviors. Despite the progress made in understanding this disorder, its causes remain unclear, and effective interventions are still under investigation. Recent studies highlight the role of motor disabilities in exacerbating the underlying symptoms of ASD, making psychomotor therapy a promising intervention to improve motor, social, and communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorder.
