Description:
AutismFit officially kicked off with an online kick-off meeting on 17 May 2024. Partners focused on the implementation of the Needs Assessment. These activities have identified a number of common challenges to delivering accessible lifestyle education. These challenges include:
- A lack of training resources;
- Poor understanding of the use of technology;
- A lack of inclusive environment and activities;
- Lack of proper training among youth workers.
Following the meeting, a collection of practices of active lifestyle for people with ASD was also launched. To date, partners have gathered over 61 practices (Digital tools, research articles, offline games, educational courses, and learning mobility initiatives) which will be made available via the AutismFit online repository in 2025.
