It was a Randomized Clinical Trial.Data will be collected from Life care rehabilitation and special child facility.The study was completed within 6 months after approval of synopsis.The calculated sample size, through WHO sample size calculator, using Bruininks- Oseretsky test's mean and standard deviation (Mean Dynamic Balance) as outcome measure was 20 in each group. After adding 10% dropout the sample size will be 20+4=24 in each group; hence, overall sample size n= 20. Age range 5-12 years. Children with diagnosed Autism and age ranges between 5-12 will be included in the study.Convenient Sampling Technique was used to collect the data.There was two groups.In Group A SPARK therapy will be provided and in group 2 fundamental motor skill training will be provided.
