Обзор

This study compares Image-Sand Play Therapy and Tabletop Training with Weighted Cuffs for improving Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) in children with autism. A 12-week randomized controlled trial will be conducted at Tanzeem-ul-Nisan, Faisalabad. Beery VMI will assess outcomes. Data will be analyzed using SPSS-23. Non-probability conventional sampling will be used. Sessions occur twice weekly.

Подробное описание

This study compares the effectiveness of Image-Sand Play Therapy and Tabletop Training with Weighted Cuffs in improving Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) in children with autism.

Methods: A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with children diagnosed with autism from Tanzeem-ul-Nisan, Faisalabad. Participants will be randomly assigned to either intervention group. Both therapies will run for 12 weeks, with two sessions per week.

Image-Sand Play Therapy: Creative sand tray play guided by a therapist.

Tabletop Training: Structured tasks with weighted cuffs for proprioceptive input.

Assessment Tool: Beery VMI

Sampling: Non-probability conventional sampling

Data Analysis: SPSS version 23, using baseline, mid, and post-intervention scores to compare effectiveness.
