Autism-Inclusive Adventure: Building Confidence and Connection through Exercise

In this inclusive exercise video, join Coach Dave from Exercise Connection as he guides a young student on the autism spectrum through a series of fun and engaging exercises. Utilizing evidence-based practices like technology-aided instruction (e.g. Exercise Buddy app), modeling, video modeling, visual supports, reinforcement, and prompting, Coach Dave creates a supportive environment for the child to learn and thrive. Throughout the video, Coach Dave introduces low impact exercises such as "Lay on the Log," using a foam roller and "The Crossover March," ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience for the autistic child. Emphasizing the importance of student choice, the video fosters a positive relationship between the student and exercise, promoting persistence over perfection when learning new moves.
