Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a period of physical activity on the object control skills in High Function Autism (HFA) children (6-10 years old). 10 children with HFA among of 33 children with Autism disorder in Shahre-kord autism rehabilitation center randomly were selected. After evaluation of the object control skills development by using of Ulrich test of gross motor skills- second edition (2000) in the pre-test, subjects randomly were divided into homogeneous groups. One group as title the experimental group and other group as title the control group were considered. Selected exercise program that were used in this study was based on SPARK motor program that were applied for 12 sessions in experimental group. Then again, both tests were performed. Leaven and Covariate Analysis were used for comparison of means. Results showed that the selected activity has a significant effect on object control skills in children with HFA, but in some subunits of this subscale include: hitting ball with baton, dribble in situ, low trundle ball and kicking the ball the results was no-significant (P£0.05). Training of selected physical exercises in HFA children in experiment group made significant changes in research variables but not in control group. According to the results of this research we suggest that selected physical exercise programs that derived from SPARK motor program can improve object control skills in High Function Autism (HFA) children's.
