Abstract

AbstractIt is well established that adolescents with autism spectrum disorders often do not engage in physical activity, which may contribute to secondary health concerns (e.g., poor cardiovascular health and diabetes). The purpose of this study was to extend the research on a behavioral intervention package and address previous limitations (i.e., small number of exercises and minimal maintenance). A multiple baseline design across participants was used to determine if there was a functional relationship between the intervention and independence of physical activity, creating workouts, and navigating workouts. The results indicate that participants were able to acquire and maintain skills. When new exercises were presented in generalization, two participants demonstrated higher levels of independence in physical activity and one participant displayed a similar level to baseline. Implications and areas for future research are discussed.
