Abstract
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have not only limitations in social-communication skills and imagination abilities but also motor coordination and sensory processing problems. The brain dysfunction related to sensory processing problems and motor problems in children with ASD has not been clarified, nor have medical treatments been established. Since sensory processing and motor problems affect adaption to daily living, we must elucidate the mechanism of brain dysfunction related to sensory processing and motor problems. Treatments and support methods for individuals with ASD should also be developed. This article describes the current state of motor and sensory processing problems in children with ASD, and rehabilitation approaches that support them.
