An Adapted Basketball Program for Children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder ASD

Basketball is a team sport that requires social interaction, physical coordination and plays prediction. These skills are often deficient yet important for children with ASD. We made the following adaptations to an existing basketball program with the aim to teach children with ASD the essential social and physical skills so that they can benefit from the game of basketball: (1) a 1:3 coach-to-player ratio, (2) plays prediction modelling with coaches turning into players and (3) infiltration of neuro-typical children. Our vision is to see these children play and be able to enjoy a pickup game on a basketball court. Presenter: Audrey Poon, Ph.D. Basketball St-Laurent
