Abstract
Abstract Date Presented Accepted for AOTA INSPIRE 2021 but unable to be presented due to online event limitations. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which a specialized swim program for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) improved child and parent functioning and body composition (body mass index). Researchers used a crossover design and convenience sampling to recruit 24 children, mostly young (75% < age 9 years), male (83%), and Caucasian (58.3%). Results showed 8 weeks of twice-weekly swimming improved self-esteem and emotional behaviors of children with ASD but did not positively effect body composition.
