Infos

This book contains collected works from kinesiology, sport pedagogy, coaching, and physical education professionals at the graduate level, as well as observations and ideas from the editor, a professor of kinesiology and sport pedagogy and former personal trainer and grade-school coach and educator. While enrolled in respective undergraduate and graduate courses aimed at enhancing movement, exercise, physical activity, physical education, and sporting experiences for individuals with disabilities, the authors thoroughly researched autism spectrum disorder, explored ideas to enhance movement opportunities for students with autism spectrum disorder, and wrote chapters for this book aimed at providing suggestions and improvement strategies for teachers, coaches, and other health and movement professionals. Each chapter explains the fundamental characteristics of autism spectrum disorder and describes how educators, coaches, and facilitators of exercise and physical activity can accommodate individuals with autism spectrum disorder and adapt and/or modify physical education, physical activity, and movement experiences for individuals with autism spectrum disorder under their care. Each chapter also takes steps in educating you, the reader, on how to accommodate, modify, and support physical education and physical activity experiences for individuals with autism.
