AFC Instructors: How to find and what to expect from professionals
Physical activity and sports play an important role in the lives of children, including those with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), mental retardation (PSD), intellectual disability (IN), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and delayed speech development (SPD). However, for effective and safe physical education, it is important to find a qualified instructor specializing in working with children with developmental disabilities. In this article, we will share with you the key points on how to find the right instructor and what to expect from a professional.
Search for an instructor:
Contact specialized organizations: Start by contacting local rehabilitation centers, boarding schools, associations specializing in the support of children with ASD, ZPR, IN, ADHD and SDR. These institutions can provide recommendations and contacts of experienced instructors.
Internet and social networks: Use online resources to find instructors. Specialized websites, social networks, and professional forums can be useful search tools.
Recommendations: Do not hesitate to communicate with other parents who have experience working with instructors. Their feedback and recommendations can be valuable.
What to expect from an instructor:
Professionalism and specialization: The instructor must have a mandatory specialized physical education, and experience working with children suffering from ASD, ZPR, IN, ADHD and SDR is also welcome
Education and Certificates: Check your education and the availability of the necessary certificates. This confirms that the instructor has the necessary knowledge and skills.
Adapted programs: The instructor must have experience in developing and conducting adapted training programs that take into account the individual needs of each child.
Tolerance and understanding: The instructor must be tolerant of the peculiarities of each child and have an understanding and sensitivity to their needs.
What to ask the instructor:
Ask simple but important questions to better understand the instructor's work:
1. Name of the exercise: Ask what is the name of the specific exercise that is offered to your child.
2. The purpose of the exercise: Find out what the goal is before each exercise and how it will help your child.
3. Developing skills: Ask what skills are being developed through each exercise.
4. Muscles and Muscle Groups: Specify which muscle groups are trained during a particular exercise in order to understand how it affects physical development.
5. Explanation of the number of repetitions: Ask how many times your child needs to perform this exercise.
6. Recommendations for home classes: Ask the instructor to give recommendations on what exercises can be done at home to maintain progress.
Additional recommendations:
Regularity and consistency: Exercise regularly, at least twice a week, to achieve the best results.
Integrative approach: Consider the possibility of sensory integration classes in combination with adaptive physical culture and pool training. This comprehensive approach can be particularly effective.
Individual choice of direction: Choose the direction of classes based on the individual needs and interests of your child.
