- Abstract
The article focuses on the application of relational psychomotor skills as a tool to improve social skills in children with autism. Relational psychomotor skills is an approach within psychomotor skills that focuses on the development of motor skills in relation to the environment and to others. This perspective considers that movement is not only a physical action, but also has a relational and communicative dimension. The study presents the case method to develop the study. It deals specifically with the case of three children aged 6 to 9 years with social difficulties and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. Through the use of relational psychomotor skills and the collection of data by means of a pre-test and a post-test of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (MABC) and the Victor L. Serra Psychomotor Development Test (TEPSI), a significant improvement in their coordination and dexterity to perform tasks of sociability and social skills was observed. In addition, studies are mentioned that support the idea that relational psychomotor skills can be an effective tool for addressing social and communication difficulties in children with autism. By providing a structured, playful environment to practice and develop social skills, it enables children to learn and apply social norms, understand nonverbal cues, and participate effectively in social interactions. Overall, the positive results obtained through the use of relational psychomotor skills suggest that this technique may be beneficial for the development of relational, social, and motor skills in children with autism.
