This developmental process is accompanied by physical and cognitive development in which a baby learns how to move his or her body. Motor development is the process by which infants and later children learn to move their body parts and control their muscles so that they can perform a variety of motor skills, such as lifting the head, crawling, sitting, standing, and walking. Training DPTs in identifying initial ASD signs and developing their clinical reasoning abilities will increase the chance of implementing early intervention with this group of clients.

Possible effects of the study: The use of AIMS as a relevant assessment scale for this group of clients is recommended. AIMS was found to be a sensitive tool to pinpoint relevant candidates for ASD screening among children treated in DPT. The most common reasons for a child with ASD to be referred for DPT services are MMDs. Conclusions: The prevalence of ASD among children referred to DPT for MDD is higher than its prevalence within the general population. The use of AIMS as an early detection tool suggests that more than 87% of children with ASD and MDD present with a developmental delay or risk for one when using this scale. Children with ASD mostly received DPT for motor delays (46.19%), torticollis (19.52%), developmental delay (15.48%), and preterm birth (7.38%). Of those, 388 (odds ratio 4.1, 95% CI 3.6–4.6) children were referred to DPT. Results: ASD diagnosis was reported in 1821 children (prevalence rate 0.75%). Reasons for referral to DPT and the results of using AIMS as an appropriate tool for revealing developmental delays in infants with ASD are presented. Early childhood MDD was defined as having at least one recorded developmental physiotherapy (DPT) visit before the age of 2 years.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included all children registered at one health care organization in Israel born between 20 (N = 240,299).

This study reports the results of using the Alberta Infant Motor Scale (AIMS), which assesses gross infant motor skills from ages 0 to 18 months, as a screening tool for detecting motor developmental delay (MDD) in small children with ASD. However, motor screening for children with ASD is difficult, as there are no specific tools for identifying this specific population. Early intervention has been reported to improve the function of children with ASD. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a group of developmental disabilities presenting difficulties in social interaction and language and an increased occurrence of cognitive, sensory, and motor gaps.
