Abstract

About 79 to 83% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) do not present performance in motor skills within the expected for their age group and, still, the motor aspects do not make up the diagnostic criteria for ASD. For this reason, the objective of the article is to carry out a survey and analysis of the literature about the motor assessment tools in children with ASD. It’s a literature review, whose searches were made in Medline, PubMed and SciELO databases, using the descriptors evaluation motor; autism spectrum disorder; evaluation; autism disorder e motor skills. Articles with full text available in portuguese, english and spanish language, published in the last 10 years, which evaluated children and adolescents aged 0 to 18 years diagnosed with ASD and that used some motor assessment instrument were included. The sample is composed by 12 articles. 8 motor assessment instruments were identified and most of them are not specific for children with ASD. Some instruments used to assess motor function also assess other developmental domains, such as language, cognitive and social behavior. The instruments related only to motor development were the TGMD-3, the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale and the Developmental Coordination Disorder Questionnaire. There are few specific instruments in the literature that assess motor development in children and adolescents with ASD. It was noted that is still necessary the formulation and/or the use of specific instruments to assess motor development in the population studied.
