Website: The Guide to Aquatic Therapy for Children with Autism

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) defines autism spectrum disorder (ASD) as “a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.” According to the CDC’s Autism and Developmental Disabilities Monitoring (ADDM) Network, about 1 in 68 children has been identified with ASD. ASD poses unique challenges for engaging children in physical activity due to sensory, motivational, and motor function issues. With appropriate strategies and tactics unique to the individual child, physical activity can become a fun and engaging activity for nearly every child with ASD.
