Neuromotor immaturity versus maturity of the child with autism spectrum – a case study

Summary/Abstract: The maturity of a child with autism spectrum to perform tasks resulting from the educational obligation is an extremely important issue and, above all, it should be considered in the interdisciplinary dimension. With growing frequency, autistic children function in mainstream schools, so it becomes important to identify the potentialities of a future learner to undertake school education. School maturity means the child’s acquisition of motor, mental and emotional skills that will allow him/her to perform the suggested tasks during the educational process. Each of the above aspects of school maturity of a child with autism spectrum is equally important as they all increase the child’s chances of finding a place in the new area of activity and, thus, of avoiding many dangers posed by the emerging educational situations. The presented article is a case study of a several years old boy diagnosed with atypical autism. The diagnostic tests have indicated some areas of deficiency that may cause a significant impediment to the achievement of school maturity. This early identification of deficit areas will allow for appropriate therapeutic and educational actions to be taken with regard to the obtained diagnostic results to minimize difficulties in achieving full school functionality.
