Abstract
Apply It! • Make a profound impact. Because of limited resources, most school systems are leaving those with autism wandering and wondering in physical education classes. This is a squandered opportunity because autism parents have rated exercise as the no. 1 treatment as it has been shown to extend beyond the health-related benefits. Those with autism need to be able to access fitness centers and trainers to benefit from exercise programming. • Understanding autism and exercise. Teaching exercise to those with autism is 75% understanding autism and 25% understanding exercise. This community learns differently and to create successful exercise programs requires embedding evidence-based teaching practices, structured routines, and setting individualized goals. The goal may simply start with just being in the facility for 30 minutes.
