The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of an assessment protocol utilizing a picture activity schedule on the performance of the Movement Assessment Battery for Children-Second Edition (MABC-2) by children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Twenty-five children (ages 3-16 years; 20 boys, 5 girls) performed the MABC-2 under two different protocols (i.e., traditional protocol and picture activity schedule protocol). In the traditional protocol condition, each child received detailed verbal descriptions and demonstrations prior to the motor skill performance. During the picture activity schedule protocol, a picture of each task was presented to the children and the verbal instructions were minimized to emphasize visual supports. MABC-2 percentile scores were analyzed using a within-subjects repeated-measures analysis of variance.
All children were delayed or at risk for delay in both fine and gross motor skill performance during the administration of the traditional protocol. However, when the picture activity schedule protocol was utilized, children showed a significantly higher MABC-2 percentile score (12.4) compared with that of the traditional protocol (1.1), F(1, 24)= 24.143, p < .001.
The findings indicated that the picture activity schedule protocol may elicit better motor skill performance on the MABC-2 by children with ASD. We suggest researchers and practitioners incorporate a picture activity schedule into the MABC-2 assessment protocol when examining the fine and gross motor performance of children with ASD.
本研究旨在探讨利用图片活动时间表评估方案对自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）儿童运动评估电池第二版（MABC-2）表现的影响。
25 名儿童（3-16 岁；20 名男孩，5 名女孩）在两种不同的方案（即传统方案和图片活动时间表方案）下进行 MABC-2。在传统方案中，每个孩子在进行运动技能表现之前都接受了详细的口头描述和演示。在图片活动时间表方案中，向孩子展示了每个任务的图片，并尽量减少口头指导，以强调视觉支持。使用重复测量方差的 within-subjects 分析对 MABC-2 百分位数分数进行了分析。
在传统方案的实施过程中，所有儿童的精细和粗大运动技能表现都延迟或有延迟的风险。然而，当使用图片活动时间表方案时，儿童的 MABC-2 百分位数得分（12.4）明显高于传统方案（1.1），F（1, 24）=24.143，p<0.001。
研究结果表明，图片活动时间表方案可能会通过 ASD 儿童更好地激发 MABC-2 的运动技能表现。我们建议研究人员和从业者在检查 ASD 儿童的精细和粗大运动表现时，将图片活动时间表纳入 MABC-2 评估方案。
