Touchscreen Training Increases Smoothness of Hand Movements in Autistic Children with Impaired Speech and Motor Function
30 autistic children with motor and speech impairments were randomised to treatment or control in an iPad-assisted motor skills training programme. Autistic behaviours, motor and language function improved across both conditions. Those with high receptive-expressive language differences engaged most with the intervention and improved most consistently in movement kinematics.
