One-to-one fitness instruction with individuals and small groups

My goal is to educate those involved with the autism population on the many benefits of fitness for young individuals with autism. Self-efficacy, self-esteem, and socialization. I do not, however, make outrageous or unsubstantiated claims about what Autism Fitness Athletes will achieve. The one claim I do stand by is that Autism Fitness participants will, over time, learn to move better and have exposure to a therapeutic fitness experience.
