We now want to extend this success with our program to fight children with Autism.
Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication, as well as by unique strengths and differences. It is now know that there is not one autism but many types, caused by a combination of genetic and environmental influences.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism’s prevalence as 1 in 68 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls.
Our program will have boxing classes for students on the Autism Spectrum. We will work on socialization, communication, focus and organization through boxing fitness.
The program will incorporate boxing basics and a circuit workout that will be modified to fit all students needs while using supports and prompting procedural techniques.
