Employing a pretest-posttest design, the 8-week intervention consisted of 50-60 minute school-based game sessions, twice weekly. Assessment tools encompassed the Childhood Autism Test, the Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test, and a researcher-designed School Games Checklist.<br> <strong>Results. </strong>Results revealed significant between-group differences favoring the experimental group (P<0.05) in post-test scores on both gross motor skills (running speed and agility, balance, bilateral coordination, strength) and fine motor skills (reaction time, visual motor control, upper limb speed, and dexterity).<br> <strong>Conclusion.</strong> The games-based program effectively enhanced motor skills in children with ASD, underlining the importance of tailored movement and sports programs to support their physical, cognitive, and social development.</div> Autism Spectrum Disorder, Fine Motor Skills, Gross Motor Skills, School-Based Games 0 0 http://aassjournal.com/browse.php?a_code=A-11-636-3&slc_lang=fa&sid=1 Gholamreza Zourmand 100319475328460013700 100319475328460013700 No Department of Physical Education, Huanggang Normal University, Hounggang, China Ratko Pavlović 100319475328460013701 100319475328460013701 No Faculty of Physical Education and Sport, University of East Sarajevo, East Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina Morteza Taheri taheri.mortza@ut.ac.ir 100319475328460013702 100319475328460013702 Yes Department of Cognitive and Behavioral eciences in Sport, University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran
