The influence of visual supports and motivation on motor performance of the MABC-2 for Chinese school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder

Abstract The influences of including visual supports and strategies to increase motivation for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in motor assessments were examined. 97 children with ASD and 117 age-matched typically developing (TD) children performed the Movement Assessment Battery for Ch...
