- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to understand the effects of dance therapy on the perceptive-motor skills of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and its impact on autonomy in activities of daily living. The effects will be analyzed in five times: Time 0: pre-intervention; Time 1: after eight sessions; Time 2: after 16 sessions; Time 3: after 24 sessions (post-intervention); Time 4: one month after the end of the interventions (follow up). The evaluations will be carried out through the Virtual Maze Test, to analyze the perceptive-motor skills, and the Pediatric Disability Assessment Inventory, to evaluate the functionality and independence in activities of daily living. The results of the scores of the scales that obtain statistical significance with a value of p<0.05 will be considered.
