Physiotherapy, as a science, has played an important role within the health sciences over the years. This science has been consolidated as one of the most important. In this way, physiotherapy has also been used within the aspect related to Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a disease characterized by the fact that patients live "in their own world", thus making the application of traditional educational aspects difficult. In this sense, the main objective of the work was to review the existing literature regarding the strengthening of the psychomotor process in students with ASD. A qualitative methodology based on a descriptive type of research was taken into consideration. The selection of the necessary bibliography for the study was made based on the PRISMA methodology. The main results highlight that psychomotor development in a child will always have a high level of importance, taking as a reference different educational aspect. Similarly, physiotherapy can be used to a great extent in the management of ASD in children, since there are different strategies that help to improve the quality of life of this group of people.
