The Impact Of Zumbadance Intervention On The Enhancement Of Activities Of Daily Living Skills In Children With Autism Spectrum Disorder. Paripex - Indian Journal Of Research. 2024 Dec; 13(12): 104-1062250-1991https://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/247882Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) frequently encounter significant obstacles in mastering Activities of Daily Living (ADL) skills, which are vital for cultivating independence and improving overall quality of life (Schneider et al., 2015). These difficulties can hinder self-care routines, impede social interactions, and disrupt communication, often resulting in increased reliance on caregivers. Traditional intervention strategies, such as behavioural therapies, while effective in some contexts, may not sufficiently engage children or promote a comprehensive developmental approach. Zumba dance presents a compelling alternative due to its engaging rhythmic movements and group dynamics. This form of structured physical activity has shown promise in addressing the unique challenges faced by children with ASD. Research indicates that participation in enjoyable and organized physical activities can significantly improve motor skills, enhance social interactions, and foster emotional regulation (Cameron & O'Rourke, 2019). The energetic and interactive nature of Zumba allows children to experience movement in a fun and motivating way, potentially leading to increased participation and enthusiasm. Furthermore, Zumba emphasizes non-verbal communication through dance, providing a unique opportunity for children with ASD to practice social skills in a low-pressure environment. Given these factors, investigating Zumba as a strategic intervention could yield significant benefits in enhancing ADL skills and promoting holistic development for children with ASD. Ultimately, this approach could pave the way for more sustainable independence and improved quality of life for affected individuals.Autism Spectrum DisorderActivities of Daily LivingZumbadance.
