Abstract
Social communication deficits, sensory sensitivities, and motor impairments mark Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Children with ASD can struggle with gross motor coordination, balance, and proprioception, which can hinder both physical and social development. Swimming emerges as a promising intervention, offering sensory benefits, structured routines, and opportunities for social interaction. Integrating Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with kinesiology-based approaches allows for individualized, systematic motor interventions. By combining behavioral techniques with movement science, swimming programs can significantly enhance the physical, emotional, and social well-being of children with autism, fostering independence and improved quality of life.
