Newswise — In honor of Autism Awareness Month, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) will be celebrating the incredible impact of Autism Exercise Specialists who are transforming lives in communities worldwide. These experts are breaking new ground by fulfilling a critical need for autism and disability specific exercise programs.
Equipped with the ACSM/Exercise Connection Autism Exercise Specialist Certificate, these professionals now have the evidence-based, research-supported training to confidently engage with individuals with autism and developmental disabilities. By implementing structured and visual exercise routines designed specifically for this population, they are fostering physical and emotional growth that was once difficult to achieve.
The benefits extend beyond the individuals to positively impacting families. Parents and caregivers are thrilled to see their loved ones thriving, knowing they are in understanding and capable hands. Through their work, these Autism Exercise Specialists are not only enhancing the lives of individuals with autism but are also empowering their communities by setting new standards for inclusive, adaptive fitness.
If you’re interested in telling this inspirational story of how the power of movement is changing lives, we’d love to connect you with several subject experts, including David Geslak, founder of Exercise Connection and creator of the Autism Exercise Specialist Certificate, along with Sana Ghawas, owner of Wonder Fitness in Bahrain and a parent of a child with autism, and certified specialists Kristin Kmack, owner of Maur Movement in New York and Howard Tons, owner of Tectonic Fitness in Los Angeles.
