Playful Strategies to Promote Physical Activity in Children and Adolescents with Special Needs
Course Description
This 2-hour webinar explores the factors involved in developing a sustainable movement regimen for individuals with special needs. Children and young adults who have physical, intellectual, sensory, or self-care impairments often face barriers to movement-based activity choices. These barriers contribute to a sedentary lifestyle which impacts multiple individual domains including physical, emotional, and social health. Physical therapists, occupational therapists, and athletic trainers are integral to the support of individuals with physical and/or multiple impairments in meeting their optimal level of physical activity.
