Connect Fit

We are familiar with ABA, Relationship Development Intervention, Augmentative communication and the structure of an intervention team. We can work with your behavioural consultant, SLP, OT or physiotherapist to design a personalized fitness program for your child or young adult (12 years of age and up) and provide them with the appropriate support and teaching methods as suggested by their intervention team such that they complete these programs safely and effectively. In addition to the physical fitness and health benefits that participants achieve, their acquisition of new skills in a new community setting through a guided approach will further help them to adapt to conventional recreation facilities, add to their social skill set and independence.

Training sessions will incorporate
– one-on-one fitness mentoring with a focus on aerobic and resistance circuit training.
– direction from your intervention team
– the use of video modeling if required
– the use of augmentative communication methods such as iPad and/or visuals if required

Goals of the Personalized Fitness Program:
– cardio fitness
– resistance training & stretching
– safe use of gym equipment and exercise machines
– gym etiquette
– self agency and efficacy
– enhanced self regulation awareness
