Thank you for continuing to watch this workout series
and what we're gonna show you is an activity that you can do
in the classroom before you go
to the gym or the gymnasium or
any physical activity environment with us again
of course is champion Dylan. Dylan would you say hi? Hi
Say hi to everyone out there! Hi everyone! And of course coach
Ashley and as I was mentioning
we want to start sometimes in the classroom to do activities
because the gym can be
very un-sensory-friendly and truly probably is one of the unsensory friendly
environments
in the school think about all the bright lights
sometimes there's a flickr in that light which would
could cause major distress and distraction for our children
or adults. Also
the sound echoing, all these things are some things that we may never
experience or understand but these are things that we're
learning through individuals like Rachel who's been on to share her experiences
and all the the time that we've spent with these kids
and the activity that we're going to show you is one at Dylan's
favorites which is soccer
And what are you and coach Ashley gonna do? Coach Ashley do you want to just take him through how you
would set it up in the classroom. Absolutely. So
in classroom we use the visual supports as well
so they know exactly what direction they're gonna be kicking the ball in
and you actually color code as well, a red ball
blue ball and yellow ball, so depending on the level at which
a student is at to keep their engagement and to keep them motivated
color is also one of our motivating
factors in exercise. So we have a red ball
blue ball and yellow ball so I'll actually put them in front of Dylan
Alright
Dylan can you kick
the red ball?
Nice job! Ready? Okay let's go back
Can you kick the blue ball?
Nice job Dylan!
What's the last ball that you're gonna kick? Yellow. Can you kick the yellow ball?
Soft. Thank you so much!
Very good! So doing that is
really a good way like you said to educate children
on their colors and if they're trying to learn it so and that's what we're seeing
through research is
learning through moving and again now
let's do it again. Now which foot did you
kick with? His right foot? He kicked with his right foot
Alright so now, Dylan do you know which one you're left foot is?
What is that?
Very good. How about we kick with our
left foot. Can you stand on your feet?
Coach Ashley why don't you take him through it again with his left foot
Left foot. Ready? Can you kick the yellow ball?
Nice job. Good listening
Can you kick with your left foot the red ball?
Thank you Dylan. And what's the last color ball you're gonna kick?
What color was that?
Blue. Can you kick the blue ball with your left foot?
Thanks Dylan! Nice job. Well done
Nice job buddy. So again
we've said this in other segments is if you do something with
their dominant side challenge them on there non-dominant side
if you do something forwards, backwards That was excellent
Dylan are you tired?
Did we work you out too much? And remember always use any
type of visual supports in all the series in all the shows you've been watching
we're using different types of supports so whatever works best for your student. If
there's something
that we haven't shown you or there's something that you doing with your
students
thats a different structure different visual different activities
share with us, share with us the exercise connection share with everyone at NCHPAD
we want you to become better educators but we also need
your support. Every child with autism
are different, they're all unique I should say unique in their
own creative ways so
there may be something that you're doing that we haven't shown you, but share with us
don't forget always challenge autism with exercise
Can we say goodbye to everyone out there? Goodbye!
See you next time
