"Fitting In and Having Fun In Physical Education Class"

It is difficult for children with high functioning autism or Asperger’s Syndrome to learn along with the rest of the class in physical education.  I have watched many children struggle and become embarrassed and ostracized because they are not proficient in the basic skills; or they do not understand the game rules.  Being able to keep up with their peers in P.E. is especially important for boys.  It goes a long way toward being accepted.

This video will allow you to pre-teach the skills and game rules needed to participate proficiently in gym glass.  The curriculum is broken up by grade.  Grades 1-5 will be taught.

"Fitting In and Having Fun, Learning Through Play"

This video shows you how to motivate the child who will rarely join in and play with others. To many autistic children, appropriate play seems like work. The difference between work and play is that play is self-motivating. The child should want to participate in the activity because he/she derives enjoyment or pleasure on some level from it.

This video teaches you how to create activities and games that can be enjoyed and played by all, but are based on what is intrinsically motivating to the child with autism.  Once they start enjoying playing with friends they become motivated to participate in other play activities.  The tape will also show you how to incorporate specifically targeted social skills into a game-like format.
