Gross Motor Movement Therapy

Gross motor movement therapy is a vital component of the comprehensive treatment for ASD, designed to help individuals develop and strengthen large muscle groups used for activities like climbing, running, jumping, and coordination. Many children with autism experience challenges with balance, posture, and motor planning, which can impact their ability to engage in everyday tasks and social play.

Through structured exercises, games, and activities such as obstacle courses, climbing, and ball play, gross motor therapy enhances strength, coordination, and body awareness. By improving these skills, individuals gain greater confidence, independence, and the ability to participate more actively in social and recreational activities.
