fitness for those

Getting kids to move and bend their knees to gain strength can be very challenging. Okay, try getting kids on the autism spectrum to exercise. “Ha!”, as Isabel would say in Mozart and the Whale (I can hear her now!)
Well, founder of Autism Fitness, Eric Chessen, has great ideas about how to help motivate those on the autism spectrum get into exercise and bend their knees. This is great core and back exercise! He uses fun props, like stars to stand on, colorful balls and other fun items.
