Research studies continue to reveal that exercise may positively affect both health and other challenges of those with autism. As further evidence, it was noted in a conference presentation on the National Survey of Autism Treatment Effectiveness that surveyed parents of children with autism rated exercise as a top treatment for their children.
Training people with autism requires using the same tools and protocols that have been successfully implemented in the classroom but rarely make it to the gym. To do this effectively, fitness professionals must be educated on how to implement these evidence-based practices.
ACSM and Exercise Connection are proud to now offer an updated Autism Exercise Specialist Course and corresponding Autism Exercise Specialist Certificate®, up to date with the latest professional standards and practices.
