The Youth Sport Trust has created a guide to support practitioners to develop an understanding of autism, including related social and communication difficulties, within the context of PE and sport.
The booklet is designed to be a practical toolkit, building your knowledge of autism and some of the key considerations for making PE and sport inclusive to all. The key factor throughout this process is to know the young person you are working with, which includes familiarising yourself with their Individual Education Plans and motivators.
The objectives of the booklet are:
1. To help you understand misconceptions about young autistic people taking part in PE and sport.
2. To help identify and reduce barriers to participation
3. To help you to realise the wider benefits that PE and sport bring, particularly when used as a therapeutic vehicle to help regulate emotions, facilitate learning and improve social inclusion
