Several therapeutic methods have been proposed to improve motor skills for autistic individuals, out of which swimming with dolphins is the most prominent.
Motor weakness is one of the most prominent impairments of autism. Ac-cording to the results of research, it can be concluded as the ap-plied programme had a significant effect in respect of improving the muscle tonus that directly was evident in improved posture of all examinees.Īutism, the neuro-developmental disorder, usually appears in early childhood. For the purpose of analyses of the initial and final testing, T-test was used for subordinate samples. The programme of kineziological activi-ties has been carried out during the period of 16 weeks, twice a week per 60 minutes. After the posture diagnosis has been established, a plan and programme of corrective gymnastic exer-cises was determined and iz was carried out within small groups, sometimes individually. It used nine variables that included the inspected body regions and the total estimation of posture. For the evaluation of the posture condition, Naplan Wolanski method was used. The research itself had been conducted on a sample con-sisting of 45 girls, age 5 ± 0.5 years in which cases it had been established by an expert evaluation a weakness of some muscle groups but the entire musculature as well. The aim of this research was to determine the effects of com- bined kineziological programmes of corrective and Aqua gym- nastics upon the improvement of bad posture with pre-school girls.
