Testimonials
Prior to my Autism Fitness training, it was often difficult to select and utilize the appropriate assessments to inform programming for my students. The Autism Fitness Certification has provided me with an excellent tool to assess and create effective programming that considers the physical, adaptive, and cognitive abilities of my athletes. I am grateful for the extensive instruction that we received to provide motivating, evidence-based programming for my athletes of varying ages and abilities. My athletes continue to make gains in their fitness and their abilities to participate in Adapted PE programming. When my athletes see me in the hallway, they excitedly ask me if they get to exercise with me today. Helping my students develop a true love for movement and exercise is the best gift that I can give them.

Becoming a certified Autism Fitness Level 1 Pro has been a game changer. I have many years of experience working at elementary and middle schools as an education assistant and athletics coach with neurodiverse students. My skills, confidence and knowledge have been upgraded to a whole new level after this course. Eric and the team are very professional, knowledgeable, reliable and supportive . I am proud to be an Autism Fitness Level 1 Pro!
Amy Adamson, Parent and CPT
Following the Autism Fitness certification, I returned to teaching equipped not only with a fresh skill set, but also a firm understanding for the why’s and how’s that comprise effective programming. Imparted with a renewed perspective and approach, my career took a transformative turn after becoming a Level 1 certified pro. I redesigned the Adapted Physical Education curriculum for the Autism Program at St. Colman’s School to better serve the student population based on the Autism Fitness model. I also became a small business owner, founding Maur Movement to provide personal and small group training to individuals with Autism and related disabilities throughout the Capital Region of New York state. Autism Fitness set the foundation for both my professional and my client’s personal growth. The Autism Fitness community continues to be an invaluable source of support, guidance, and ongoing education for me and my business.
