Methods: This is an A-B follow-up case study. Purposive sampling was used to recruit four male children with autism spectrum disorder that were chosen by non-probability and purposive sampling method. The participants participated in 21 sessions of sensory-motor integration training. Assessment instrument was Gilliam Autism Rating Scale (GARS). Visual inspection charts and Cohen's d effect size were used to analyze the data.

The result of Cohen's d effect size showed large effect size of sensory-motor integration training on stereotypic behaviors and autism symptoms. Nonetheless, the effect size of sensory-motor integration training in the follow up stage for one of cases was medium.
