Abstract
Abstract: Swimming is a sport developed in a liquid environment, characterized by a sequence of technical motor gestures that takes into account the specific styles and rules of each swim. The objective of this article is to identify if there is an improvement in the motor skills of adaptation to the liquid environment of children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder aged 3 to 10 years from stimulation in a liquid environment. The research was carried out in a gym in the city of São Leopoldo/RS, five collaborators participated, children, of both sexes, aged from 3 to 10 years with T.E.A., practitioners of physical exercise in liquid medium, and characterized as almost- experimental, qualitative and quantitative. The TGMD-2 was used to evaluate the motor development of four children and, to evaluate the adaptation to the liquid environment of five children, the Aquatic Readiness Assessment “ARA” test was used. From the research results, associating motor development and adaptation to the liquid environment of children with ASD. from 3 to 10 years from the motor stimulation in a liquid environment, we conclude that there is a direct relationship, regardless of the medium to which it was proposed, even the environments having specific characteristics, there were motor equivalences classifying the children in their ability averages, contributed for the personal and family social aspect, offering a wide range of laser and sports alternatives, as well as interaction with your family and other social groups.
