Summary

The purpose of the study is twofold. First, to identify the effect of a 12-week fundamental motor skills (FMS) (e.g., throwing, catching, running) intervention on the active participation in physical recreation activities as well as a variety of other factors (child behaviors, communication, and adaptive skills). Second, to identify patterns, benefits, constraints, and strategies to active participation in physical recreation activities among families of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) (pre-post) through in-person or via phone interviews with parents and children with ASD. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of three protocols: 1) Workshop group, 2) Home-based group, and 3) Wait-listed home-based group. Participants in all groups will receive an activity booklet (in the form of an App) and physical education-related activity items (e.g., ball, hoop).

The investigators hypothesize that both the workshop and home-based groups will improve in all measures from pre to post compared to the wait-list control group. The investigators want to determine if the differences in the workshop and home-based groups differ significantly or are equitable in terms of gains in all areas.
