简要总结
This randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of aquatic intervention on motor coordination and behavioral outcomes in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Participants aged 5–12 years with ASD (Level 1 or 2, based on DSM-5 criteria) will be assigned to either an aquatic therapy group (involving structured swimming and water-based exercises) or a control group (receiving standard care). The primary outcome will be motor coordination, which will be assessed using the BOT-2, while the secondary outcome will focus on behavioral symptoms, assessed by the ABC. The study will hypothesize that aquatic intervention will significantly improve motor skills and reduce behavioral challenges compared to standard care.
