Abstract
The aim of this study is to reveal the effect of long term adapted game aided physical education intervention programconducted on an individual with ASD and to conserve the achieved skills. The participant was fourteen years oldduring study and was fifteen years old when research was completed. The study took 15 months in total including 12months of implementation process and 3 months of interval before retention test conducted on the participant. TheShort Form of 2nd version of Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test (BOT-2 SF) was used as a measuring set.Obtained data were evaluated graphically. According to the obtained data, we determined a development but BOT-2SF started in different periods in 8 sub-dimensions under the title of fine and gross motor skills. When permanencytest was obtained after an interval of 3 months for examined intervention program, it was clear that all skills exceptpower sub-dimension were conserved. There was a decrease in a certain amount only in power sub-dimension. In thelight of all these consequences, we can say that even though it is late, adapted intervention programs conducted onthe individuals with ASD affect motor skill levels positively and it can be said that this development will be effectivein increasing life quality of the individuals with ASD.
Highlights
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a characterized natal neurodevelopmental disorder and demonstrates its symptoms in first three years of life, characterised under the title of diffused developmental disorder and getting an increase in prevalence nowadays by displaying improper communication and social interactions with restricted and repetitive behaviours (American Psychiatric Association, 2016)
It has been asserted that problems in performed motor skills besides linguistic, social and intellectual differences sighted in the individuals with ASD could be an indicator of ASD (Staples & Reid, 2010; Bhat et al, 2011; Breslin & Rudisill, 2011; Whyatt & Craig, 2012; Liu & Breslin, 2013a; Mcphillips, 2014)
According to the results of many current researches, it was determined that individuals with ASD have delay or deficiency in motor skills compared to their peers who show typical development (Ghaziuddin & Butler, 1998; Ming et al, 2007; Dewey et al, 2007; Provost et al, 2007a; Provost et al, 2007b; Green, et al, 2009; Matson et al, 2010; Lloyd et al, 2011; Bhat, 2012; Whyatt & Craig, 2012; Lane et al, 2012; Mattard-Labrecque et al, 2013; Liu & Breslin, 2013b; Pan, 2014; Zikl et al, 2016; Choi et al, 2018)

Even though all development areas and their speed of development are different from each other, they have
