Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the effects of a jiu jitsu program on the motor performance and functional skills (self-care and social function) of children with ASD. The sample was composed by six children, being three of the control group and three of the experimental group, with ages between 6 and 12 years old submitted to Jiu Jitsu practice. The intervention had the duration of one year and three months (80 sessions) and were used the Test of Gross Motor Development-2, and Pediatric Evalution of Disability Inventory. The results point significant improvement of experimental group, after the Jiu Jitsu intervention, in manipulative performance, selfcare, social function and also less help from the parents for the task realization. It's possible to conclude that this modality may be an instrument for ASD treatment and can contribute to the planning of interventions and assist coaches and health professionals.
