Proposta de atividades psicomotoras para crianças com transtorno do espectro autista considerando possíveis lacunas na afetividade, cognição e motricidade

Abstract

Considering that children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have a deficit in communication, social interaction and motor skills, it is necessary to have a practice aimed at promoting the development of their learning, socialization and motor development that allows them to have autonomy and quality of life. Objective: To present an intervention proposal for activities with psychomotor elements for children with autism spectrum disorder, considering its gaps. Method: Applied research was conducted, which allows theoretical knowledge to be put into practice, aiming for solutions to specific problems. Discussions: Motor development comprises unlearned behaviors that arise spontaneously if the child has adequate conditions and specific stimuli. Good body development does not occur mechanically, it must be learned and experienced over time. Conclusions: Psychomotor intervention programs promote important and significant gains in the motor, physical and social development of children with ASD. In the current study, the psychomotor activities and interventions presented can promote better motor levels in children, demonstrating important gains in their motor, cognitive and affective development, despite the gaps found.
