The aim of the present study is to examine the effect of an intervention with rhythmic activities on the motor coordination and social interaction of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The research is an experimental study. The sample consisted of children with ASD between the ages of five and 10 years. The data were obtained through three instruments applied before and after the intervention: two questionnaires, answered by parents or guardians: one about lifestyle and one about social interaction (CARS) and a gross motor development test (TGMD-2) performed with the children. No significant differences were found between groups after 14 weeks of activities. However, only the intervention group presented improvements from the first evaluation for the second evaluation (pre and post) (p = 0,042; effect size of 1.86) in motor skills. Regarding social interaction, no significant improvements were observed in either group. We conclude that 14 weeks of rhythmic activities can be an interesting tool to develop the motor skills of children with autism spectrum disorder.
