Care for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been transformed into a model centered on inclusion and increasing the quality of life. The study is oriented towards the elaboration of an inclusive didactic strategy using a sensorial - physical motor approach to develop fine motor skills in children with ASD, from the psychomotricity class. The investigation is based on the qualitative paradigm, adopting a case study design, with a descriptive scope. The validation of inclusive recreational activities was carried out using the focus group technique. The didactic play strategy was implemented over a period of 8 weeks, through structured sessions lasting between 20 and 30 minutes, during psychomotor activities. With the implementation of inclusive recreational activities, progress was evident in the integral development of the child with ASD, reflected in the reach of their autonomy, safety and active participation. The advances obtained allow us to achieve an evaluation at an advanced level, demonstrated in the field of visual-motor coordination, tactile-vestibular integration and socio-affective interaction. These actions confirm notable growth in inclusive processes and in the learning that drives the case studied.
