Physical education for students with autism spectrum disorders: a comprehensive approach

Current estimates are that 1 out of 88 children will be diagnosed with some form of autism. Planning a curriculum that includes all students, including those with ASD, can be a challenging task but well worth the effort. This book identifies strategies that highlight students’ skills, interests, and abilities though collaborative practices, environmental design, and assistive technologies. Physical Education for Students With Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach introduces the inclusion spectrum as a tool to help teachers analyze appropriate instruction for students, aligning abilities with curriculum and activity context; provides information on tools such as scripts, video modeling, social stories, and choice boards to assist teachers in developing programs; presents a variety of activities that teachers can choose from to help students with ASD develop social and motor skills; and assimilates best practices from general and adapted PE as well as autism training and research that offer solutions for increased student engagement in physical education.
