Abstract

The research aims to design a rehabilitation program for the sensory system and postural stability in some autistic children, by applying the proposed motor rehabilitation program to improve (the sensory-motor system - postural stability) to improve the problems of the sensory-motor system and postural stability in the research sample. The researcher used the experimental approach. In a single-group method, by conducting pre- and post-measurement on it, the research sample was selected intentionally from the clinic’s children, as their number reached (5) children whose ages ranged from (8 to 11) years. The most important results of the research were the presence of statistically significant differences and the percentage of improvement between the average scores of the autistic children in the group. Experimental pre- and post-measurements The axes of the sensory-motor system and postural stability were in favor of the post-measurement, which indicates the effectiveness of the proposed rehabilitation program in improving the axes of sensory-motor rehabilitation and postural stability in the research sample. The researcher recommended paying attention to increasing the sensory-motor rehabilitation programs, postural stability, and physical attention to children with autism, and studying the effect of sports and movement activities. Children with autism need to improve several aspects (social, physical and psychological), and spread awareness to parents.
