Teaching Children with Autism through Task Variation in Physical Education.
Weber, Robert C.; Thorpe, Joanne
Exceptional Children, v59 n1 p77-86 Sep 1992
Twelve male students (ages 11-15) with autism were assessed on gross motor skills after a 6-week physical education treatment period with either a task variation condition (with maintenance tasks interspersed) or a constant task condition. The task variation condition was significantly more effective. (Author/JDD)
