Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Note: Due to COVID-19 for the post-test, instead of parents attending the UW-Facilities, they will be asked to videotape themselves and their children while performing the test of gross motor development (TGMD) activities. For the follow-up test (Fall 2020) we will expect to conduct these in person. However, if the situation due to COVID-19 remains the same, the investigators will ask families to follow the same procedures (videotape themselves and their children).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Workshop group
Participants in the workshop group will be offered four one-day workshops (3-hours each) covering topics of 1) Sensory Integration, 2) Communication, 3) Aquatic Opportunities, and 4) Physical activity and Sports (during intervention)-\[Parents and Children-Workshop Group\]. In addition to the workshops, this group and the home-based group will receive information (activity booklets) and physical education (physical activity)-related equipment.
12-week FMS Intervention
4 sessions, no more than 3 hours per session covering 1) Sensory Integration, 2) Communication, 3) Aquatic Opportunities, and 4) Physical activity and Sports (during intervention)
Physical Activities & Activity Booklets
expected to engage in physical activity at least 3 hours per week
Home-based group
Participants in the home-based group will not participate in the four half-day workshops, but they will receive the same information (activity booklets) and physical activity equipment as the workshop group (during intervention)-\[Parents and Children-Home Group\].
Physical Activities & Activity Booklets
expected to engage in physical activity at least 3 hours per week
wait-listed home-based group
Wait-list home-based group will serve as the control group (during intervention)-\[Parents and Children-Control Group\]. This group will be instructed to continue their typical routines and activities for the duration of the intervention. They will be asked to attend the pre and posttest, as well as a follow up three weeks and 3 months after the completion of the 12-week period. Immediately following the follow-up test (3 months after the intervention), participants in the wait-list home-based group will be offered the home-based program (e.g., receiving the same intervention protocol and materials (physical education equipment and lesson plans/workbook) following all procedures as described for that group previously.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
* Children will be considered to have ASD if they score above the clinical cutoff or 15 on both the lifetime and current versions of the SCQ. Diagnostic severity of ASD will not be a factor in recruitment.
* Children must be able to participate in the program activities.
* Children must be ambulatory and able to follow verbal or picture directions with support
* Children with significant communication needs will still be considered for the study
* No age restriction for adults (parents of children with ASD)
* Parents should be ambulatory and not have any restriction to do physical activity
Exclusion Criteria
* Participants cannot exhibit aggressive behavior
* Children who are non-ambulatory, or participants (children) with significant behavioral or sensory impairments will also be excluded based on application information, including existing behavior intervention plans and existing school information
