How to work with hyperactivity and attention problems in children with ASD through adaptive physical education
Hyperactivity and difficulty concentrating in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are among the most noticeable and common features faced by educators, parents, and professionals. Adaptive physical education (AFC) provides a range of opportunities for the gentle and gradual development of these skills, improving behavior, attention, and coordination.
What is adaptive physical education and why is it important?
AFK is a physical education adapted to the needs and capabilities of each child. It takes into account the peculiarities of the mental and physical condition, is aimed at developing functional abilities, improving coordination and increasing attention. AFC helps children with ASD not only to develop physically, but also to improve their mental and emotional state.
Basic principles of working with hyperactivity through AFC
1. Stable mode and structure
Children with ASD, especially those with hyperactivity, feel calmer and more confident when classes are held in a strict schedule. Repetitive actions and a pre-understood structure create a sense of security and increase the stability of attention.
2. Smooth transition between activity and rest
Constant activity can be too exciting for hyperactive children, so alternating exercises with pauses or relaxing techniques helps to keep their interest and attention.
3. Minimizing distractions
The classroom space should be organized in such a way that there are minimal distractions. For example, unnecessary objects, bright decorations, or loud noises can interfere with concentration.
Effective ROS Exercises to Reduce Hyperactivity and Improve Attention
1. Balance games
Balancing exercises help children focus on their bodies and coordination. Simple exercises, such as standing on one leg or walking in a tight line, help to calm down and increase focus.
2. Dance and rhythmic exercises
Dance moves or music exercises help to organize the child's attention on rhythm and movement. Such exercises are effective for children who find it difficult to concentrate, as music becomes an additional guideline.
3. Breathing exercises
Breathing is one of the most important relaxation techniques. AFC specialists include breathing exercises to help children calm down, which is especially important for hyperactive children.
4. Yoga and stretching exercises
Gentle stretches and simple yoga positions help hyperactive children become aware of their bodies and relax. Yoga positions with an emphasis on breathing create a sense of peace, which helps to improve attention.
5. Games with elements of teamwork
Group exercises develop not only physical, but also social skills. They promote communication skills and help children with ASD better adapt to interacting with others.
Psychological aspect: positive reinforcement and gradual complication
For children with ASD, support is important at every stage of learning. Praise and encouragement, adapted to their level of perception, help motivate and retain interest. Gradually increasing the complexity of exercises is also important – it makes classes interesting and encourages the child to develop.
Conclusion
Adaptive physical education is a powerful tool for improving concentration and reducing hyperactivity in children with ASD. Specialists, parents and teachers, using ROS, help a child not only improve his physical condition, but also create a base for better socialization and self-regulation.
