Effects of creative movement, general movement, or seated play interventions on motor performance in children with autism spectrum disorder: A pilot randomized controlled trial

BackgroundChildren with ASD experience significant gross motor challenges that could be addressed using motor interventions. However, contemporary ASD interventions that are sedentary in nature often target communication and fine motor skills and not children’s gross motor difficulties. MethodsIn the current pilot RCT, we evaluated changes in various motor outcomes (i.e., gross/fine motor coordination, locomotor skills, functional endurance, and praxis/imitation performance) following two types of whole-body motor interventions (Creative Movement (CM) or General Movement (GM)) and compared them to a Sedentary Play (SP) intervention focused on improving fine motor skills in children with ASD. Forty-five children with ASD (Mean Age ±SE: 8.7 ± 0.3, 38 males) were randomly assigned to the CM, GM, or SP groups and received 8 weeks of group-specific training. ResultsBoth CM and GM interventions led to medium-to-large improvements in gross motor performance, including improved body coordination, strength/agility, locomotor skills, and walking endurance. Children in the CM group additionally showed medium-to-large-sized improvements in praxis performance, while children in the SP group showed improvements in fine motor performance. These training-related improvements were supported by improvements reported via parental questionnaires. ConclusionsResearchers and clinicians should incorporate whole-body interventions targeting gross motor skills in the plan of care for children with ASD.

Efforts to Improve Fine Motoric Skills of Early Childhood through Coffee Dregs at Tkit Ar-Rahmah, Bener Meriah Regency

This study aims to determine how efforts to improve the fine motoric abilities of early childhood through coffee grounds at Tkit Ar-Rahmah, Bener Meriah Regency. using the method of class action research (PTK) descriptive qualitative model. The subject of this research is class B children totaling 24 children, of which there are 15 girls and 14 boys at the age of 5-6 years.

Observations indicate that coconut shell stilts help with body balance and coordination, while role-playing and alphabet arranging enhance creativity, communication, and early literacy skills. This program not only provides practical benefits to PAUD and TK Bethel Sentani but also enriches academic insights in early childhood education literature.

Improving the Movement of SEN Children with the Help of a Therapy Dog

The therapeutic relationship with animals is crucial for psychological, somatic and social health, as it enriches the well-being of the functional whole (Bánszky et al., 2012). Regular contact with animals strengthens people's experience of responsibility, attachment, unconditional acceptance and love, and also creates a sense of security, as the very existence of an animal reduces anxiety symptoms, loneliness and social isolation. In addition spending time with animals helps to optimise different movements. This paper presents of an ongoing research project. The main aim of our research is to highlight the importance of canine-assisted therapy in refining the movement of children with special educational needs by having them participate in canine-assisted therapy sessions on a weekly basis, during which, in addition to anamnesis and observations, we measure the children's development using a scale (Portage scale) that is accepted in special education. It is hypothesised that the animal-assisted therapy will have a significant positive impact on the large and fine motor skills of children with special educational needs. Our chosen research methods are case study and observation. Data processing requires both qualitative and quantitative analysis.

Kegiatan Meronce Mengoptimalkan Perkembangan Otak Kecil pada Anak Usia Dini

Early childhood is children aged 0-6 years. At this age children experience rapid and short development. Optimal motor development at an early age can support later life, by providing stimulation to children, one of which is meronce activities. The cerebellum, which is located at the bottom of the brain or the cerebellum, functions to regulate fine motor control, balance and coordination. The activity of making bracelets from beads can stimulate children's fine motor skills. In this case the research uses experimental methods. Using a sample of three children, aged four years, five years and six years. Collection of experimental data and documentation.. The aim of this research is to find out how optimal meronce activities are in the development of the cerebellum in early childhood. Based on observations in the field, young children are still categorized as having not developed their fine motor skills as they should. So it is important for adults, parents and teachers to provide stimulation to children from an early age one of them is ronce activity.
