ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how motor skills, balance, and social adaptation are affected in individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The researchers want to compare these skills between children with autism and those who have normal motor development. The study will take place at the Bartın Lider Special Education and Rehabilitation Center and involves assessments that measure things like how well participants can walk and their ability to handle multiple tasks at once.

To be eligible for the trial, participants need to be diagnosed with autism by a doctor and currently enrolled in a special education program. They should not have any vision or cognitive issues and must be able to follow instructions. Importantly, participants should also be able to walk without problems and should not have had any surgeries in the last six months. Those who join the study will undergo various tests to help researchers better understand the differences in motor and social skills between the two groups. If you or someone you know fits these criteria, this trial could be a great opportunity to contribute to important research in the field of autism.
