Detailed description: 
      Autism is an Umbrella term for a lifelong neuropsychiatric disorder which falls into the
      category of pervasive developmental disabilities. Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a
      syndrome that often develops in early childhood, characterized by impairment of speech, the
      problems encountered in communication with the environment, display of certain skills, and
      developmental retardation in almost all cognitive functions. Autism is a "spectrum disorder''
      ranging in severity in every individual. Symptoms of autistic disorder arise during the
      initial 2 years of life. Problem with language advancement and social interaction are the
      major concerns reported by parents by 2 years of age.

      Evidence has recommended that motor disability is quite possibly the most predictable
      markers, close by socio communicative challenges, for mental imbalance range issue such as
      autism spectrum disorder. These motor anomalies could have basic ramifications for resulting
      psychological and social turn of events. In any case, this territory of improvement is
      especially under examined in the mental imbalance related setting, and early mediation
      programs normally center around the core symptoms of the Autism disorder. Although the
      confined nature of the literature prevents researchers from drawing definitive conclusions,
      the outcomes from the research mentioned in this study verified probably huge upgrades in the
      motor skills of autistic children after the physical therapy interventions.

      Physical activity plays important role in improving cognition, enhancing executive functions
      of children to perform daily life activities in children with Autism Spectrum disorders and
      mental retardation A case report organized and ratified by Rehabilitation department of the
      University of Lowa, to determine the efficacy of Rhythmic Balance, Auditory, and Vision
      Exercises as an adjunctive intervention to conventional physical therapy protocol
      administered in child with Autism and ADHD.A 6 year old child diagnosed with ADHD and Autism
      was recruited in the study with major recognized difficulties in strength and agility. A 9
      week protocol of Bal-A-Vis-X program involving a multi system approach was incorporated in
      addition to basic pediatric rehabilitation protocol. A notable improvement in child gross
      motor functions was observed as measured by Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency,
      Second Edition after the intervention.

      A pilot study was conducted to ascertain the effect of Rhythmic Balance, Auditory, and Vision
      Exercises on selective attention of the students. A 10-minutes of Bal-A-Vis-X training twice
      per week for eight weeks was administered. Significant gains in focused attention and
      concentration was reported and measured after the intervention in students.

      A research investigating the effect of Bal-A-Vis-X protocol on elementary school students of
      special education department was carried on. A positive effect of Bal-A-Vis-X training is
      observed in on task attention during academic activities in children with ADHD , Autism and
      other mentally disabled individuals The past research records are evident that therapists
      have determined the individual effect of Aerobic training and Rhythmic Balance, Auditory, and
      Vision Exercises training for rehabilitation of ASD children. The evidence for implementation
      of two protocols for rehabilitation of ASD children is sparse. So the aim of this study is to
      compare the effects of Rhythmic Balance, Auditory, and Vision Exercises and Aerobic training
      in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder.
