LSQ: What does the literature in psychology tell us about the correlation between the prevalence of obesity in children with developmental disabilities and physical activities engagement?
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to determine if purposeful changes to task constraints,
heretofore referred to as task modifications, could improve the development of motor
skills in children on the autism spectrum.
Additionally, can improvements persistent in the absence of the absence of the task modifications. Using a multi-element multiple Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities baseline across behaviors single-subject research design, this study was guided by three main research questions:
1. How do task modifications influence the motor performance of children with
ASD?
2. Do changes in motor performance persist in the absence of task modification?
3. How much time is required to effectively fade a task modification for a child with
ASD?
