Document Summary
Outlined strategies to teach and adapter physical activity for children with asd. Use of tables, photos, and commonplace language. Adapted pe is not well developed in all school systems. Parents have not been provided with the right info. Some coaches and programs do not welcome children with a disability to their activities because they lack knowledge. It takes creativity to include a person with a different ability into a group activity. There are financial restrictions and issues with availability. Disability-specific knowledge or training is not available. Was unrealistic irl (ie: one-to-one student to instructor ratio) Understanding; every person with asd experiences it very different. Not too much research on how to implement the behavioural support tools. Need to have more resources available for children and adults to provide opportunities to be physically active for the duration of their lives. When coaches are able to provide a positive learning environment for their athletes, they can.
