Why Exercise??

We all know daily exercise is good for everyone, but for kids and adults with Autism there are even greater benefits. An increase in eye contact, posture, motor coordination, and overall muscle tone have been noted with the implementation of a consistent exercise program.

“Our National Survey of Autism Treatment Effectiveness, based on over 700 autism families, found that exercise was the number 1 rated treatment overall, with a rating of 4.2/5, substantially higher than the 2nd highest rated treatment with a 3.8/5.”                                                                                     – James B.
