, 2022 ; Sortwell et al., 2022 ). Children with ASD have difficulties understanding verbal directions and isolating parts of an activity or task; therefore, they tend to prefer basic gross motor activities requiring low motor coordination similar to those preferred in typically developing children at a

used the Test of Gross Motor Development to determine if a motor skill or PA intervention was successful in developing a child’s FMS ( Ketcheson et al., 2021 ). The dichotomous scoring procedure (i.e., 1 if the skill is present and 0 if it is not present) makes it suitable for determining the NNT

program for helping students bridge the gap between the classroom and the practicality of learning. Several other studies have highlighted the importance of OAE across other domains.

This was necessary for those studying infants, but it also made sense for those interested in older children

One might wonder why so many children with disabilities are less physically active than their peers without disabilities. Lower
