Autistic young people have different experiences in PE lessons in school. This survey wants to hear from PE teachers to know more about how and what works.
Physical activity can have a wide range of benefits, but participation in physical activity in school is lower for autistic students compared to non-autistic students. This project involves you thinking about and reflecting on your experiences of teaching PE to autistic students in school. This research is being done by the Centre for Neurodiversity and Development at Durham University; they are particularly interested in physical activity preferences, and barriers to physical activity linked to sensory and anxiety issues for autistic young people.
They hope that, with your insight, this study will provide recommendations to improve physical activity provision in school and increase participation for autistic students. They are looking for insight from teachers of PE in UK mainstream and specialist schools.
