DIAGNOSIS AND THERAPY OF MOTOR DISTURBANCES IN CHILDREN WITH AUTISM

The paper reveals uncommonly examined aspects concerning the specifics of the motor de-velopment in the children with autistic spectrum disorders and the problems regarding their diagnostics and the-ra-py. An analytical theory of the autistic disorders is des-cribed, connecting autism with disorders in the ba-sic levels of affective behavioral regulation. The re-port in-cludes a classification of the groups of autis-tic children, each of which demonstrates spe-ci-fic motor dysfunctions. Furthermore, the paper ana-ly-zes and recommends methodo-lo-gi-cal approaches to motor therapy which will help improve the de-ve-lop-ment of different motor skills.
