Relationships among assessment time, time on task, and motor skill performance in children with autism spectrum disorder.

Twenty-two children (age range of 3.5-10.92 years old) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) were assessed using the Test of Gross Motor Development (Second Edition; TGMD-2) using three different protocols.

The effect of a picture activity schedule on performance of the MABC-2 for children with autism spectrum disorder.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an assessment protocol utilizing a picture activity schedule on the performance of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2) by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Method: Twenty-five children (ages 3-16 years; 20 boys, 5 girls) performed the MABC-2 under two different protocols (i.e.

Footwear and locomotor skill performance in preschoolers.

The effect of footwear on locomotor skill performance was examined. 12 children (4 boys, 8 girls; M age = 56.3 mo.

The effect of visual supports on performance of the TGMD-2 for children with autism spectrum disorder.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of visual supports on the performance of the Test of Gross Motor Development (TGMD-2) for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants (N = 22) performed the TGMD-2 under three different protocols (traditional protocol, picture task card protocol, and picture activity schedule protocol). Gross motor quotient scores on the TGMD-2 were measured and statistically analyzed using a within-subjects repeated-measures ANOVA.
