"No one in the world has ever created something so simple yet so effective for assessing an individual on the Autism Spectrum that wants to participate in a real fitness program. Eric Chessen has proven once again that he is definitely the Leading Authority in Autism Fitness. His Chessen Matrix is invaluable in understanding where your participant?s baseline for activity really is. Many of my clients with youth on the Spectrum rely on Eric?s unmatched ability." Rocco Castellano ? Emmy Award Winning Fitness Professional
"Eric Chessen is quite simply the very best professional in the world when it comes to fitness for the special needs child. I sit mesmerized each and every time we discuss this topic as his depth of knowledge on the topic is without equal. Perhaps larger and more importantly than that however, Eric is constantly on the lookout for ways to improve his understanding of exercise implementation, coaching and program design. I fully endorse Eric as the most trusted man in industry related to fitness and the special needs child." Brian Grasso ? Founder, International Youth Conditioning Association
"As an educator, I know that you can create a physical education program for your special needs students in only one day! The PAC Profile Assessment Tool Box is for students of all ages and teachers don?t need to be familiar with fitness in order to develop a fun and effective program. This is the only special needs fitness program available that assesses all three critical areas of development ? physical, behavioral and cognitive." Pat Wyman ? Founder, HowtoLearn.com? and Instructor, California State University ? East Bay
What will autism look like five, ten, or twenty years from now? How can Occupational Therapists, Physical Therapists, educators, and fitness professionals begin meeting tomorrow?s needs today? What are the best methods for ensuring optimal, lifelong health and well-being for individuals on the autism spectrum?
Almost a decade ago I began considering these questions. When I began working with teenagers on the autism spectrum developing fitness programs to suit their individual needs, I did not immediately realize that it would become my lifelong passion to bring fitness, health, and optimal life strategies to the ASD community. As a fitness professional and consultant, I knew that exercise was a gateway towards greater abilities in life. For the autism population, fitness can be used to create new opportunities and skills including self-awareness, self-esteem, self-initiative, and socialization. These are aspects of life that are far too important to go unaccounted for. Working with children, teens, and young adults on the spectrum in both individual and group situations, home and educational environments, I learned how valuable and remarkably effective phyiscal fitness was. I wanted to share what I?ve learned, and what I continue to learn, with parents, educators, and fitness professionals everywhere Read more?
