What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating the relationship between motor skills and sensory processing in children aged 4 to 11 years who have either typical or atypical neurodevelopment, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). This cross-sectional observational case-control study aims to better understand how these developmental disorders affect children's growth, learning, communication, behavior, social skills, and motor abilities. The study follows STROBE guidelines and is conducted by the University of Vic - Central University of Catalonia, with ethical approvals in place to protect participants and their data. The study includes two groups: children with typical neurodevelopment and children with atypical neurodevelopment diagnosed with ASD, ADHD, or DCD. Participants will be recruited from local communities and specialized centers. Motor skills will be assessed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2), while sensory processing will be evaluated through the Short Sensory Profile-2 (SSP-2) caregiver questionnaire. Recruitment will occur from December 2024, with assessments and data collection performed according to the study protocol. Participants will be involved in assessments of motor development and sensory processing, including video-recorded sessions for motor skills evaluation. Researchers will collect demographic and developmental information from parents or guardians. The main outcome measured is motor skill development within one month of enrollment, with sensory processing also assessed during this time. Confidentiality and data protection are ensured, and participants may withdraw at any time. The study is expected to provide insights to help tailor future clinical and educational interventions for children with developmental differences.
