Strategies
With regard to the social environment, awareness and strategies to circumvent the difficulties are the main ones. Indeed, awareness must not only be raised among caregivers and peers, it must also be raised among all those who revolve around the young person, so that everyone learns how to live together. Communication between the parent and the caregiver is essential. By taking into account the person with ASD’s interests, sensory and motor particularities as well as their abilities, it becomes much easier to integrate them. Coaches, other peers in the group, as well as parents/relatives, are those who influence a person with ASD. Peers in the group can also be facilitators by being helpers and instructors for people with ASD. Finally, a good way to reduce barriers is to develop communication strategies that allow the explanation of the physical activity to the young person with ASD in order for them to better understand it.
