Note:
SAMs 1.1.1; The overall project goal is to describe the kinematics of motor skills and explore the interaction between movement patterns and sensory processing abilities how we process sensory information in school-age (6-11years) children with and without autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The movement patterns demonstrated during motor skills (i.e., hop, kick, walk) will be captured using a wearable motion capture system while the child engages in motor play with the investigator. The conditions that challenge the sensory processing demand (e.g., loud noise, unstable surface, dim light) will be introduced to evaluate how the movement patterns in children with ASD differ from that of neurotypical children for each skill and condition. The sensory processing abilities will be captured using the parent survey and assessment of balance and sensitivity to touch. We will examine how sensory processing deficits are associated with the movement patterns demonstrated during motor skills. The research findings will be collected and analyzed.
