The role of footwear in the experiences of parents and children affected by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

This project will compare how autistic children and neurotypical children move when barefoot, in traditional shoes and in minimalist shoes. This project will also identify footwear preferences of autistic children as reported by the children and their parents. This project will monitor changes in autistic children's behaviour and movement strategies in response to a minimalist footwear intervention.

This project is ongoing.
