Teacher's information
The program consists of three content blocks, which are arranged into logical units connected to each other in terms of content. The introductory activities are designed to create a pleasant atmosphere to facilitate mutual acquaintance of the program participants and a closer introduction of the lecturer. The theoretical part is divided into three blocks. The first block focuses on the specifics of the population of children with ASD and presents an introduction to the topic. The second block of the theoretical part deals in detail with the implications of the key principles of the TEACCH program and structured learning for the organization and implementation of physical education classes. Both in a general sense and concerning the specifics of individual sports and age categories of students. This is followed by a practical part, where participants apply modifications of physical activities for children with ASD and try out specific physical aids. All exercises and suggestions for activities are implemented with an emphasis on the principle of individualization and the heterogeneous nature of the behavioral manifestations of this diagnosis. Final activities include space for discussion and feedback from program participants.
