Moving Clients with Developmental Delays Forward
People with developmental and/or physical delays are unfortunately an underserved population in the fitness industry—but they deserve the opportunity to be more active and have positive exercise experiences. In fact, according to the University of Hertfordshire, over 80% of adults with intellectual disabilities engage in levels of physical activity below the minimum recommended by the Department of Health (UK), a much lower level of physical activity than the general population (53%-64%).
In this video training led by Anna Woods, an ACE Certified Personal Trainer, owner of SheStrength, author and mother of two children with special needs, you will learn how to lead a client with developmental and/or physical delays through a personal training or small group exercise session. You will discover creative and fun ways to engage and motivate clients in warm-ups, strength training and cardio workouts using various equipment, tools and communication methods.
Learn how to effectively train this clientele and get results—while making a difference in an underserved population.
Upon completion, you will be able to:
- Apply program modifications for common movements and workouts to clients with various diagnoses, behaviors and physical limitations
- Communicate in a way that encourages client compliance and motivation to learn
- Provide ideas for parents or caretakers to help their child or client be active at home
Reviews
Awesome ideas . . . wonderful presentation. Lots of great stuff that can be implemented immediately. A very fresh approach by a very organized, articulate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable presenter. I work with children with special needs every day and was inspired by this course. This course was not the sometimes typical re-hashing (is that a word??) of stuff you already know .. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this course and great ideas/information on working with clients with special needs. The examples and breakdown of how's and why's were great!
The instructor was amazing, she used a lot of real life examples that really made it easy for the material to stick. This course definitely laid out all the information necessary in a very informative but organized way which made for the interest in the course to skyrocket & for the trainer to get more understanding & real time examples from the course.
i work for an agency that specifically works with Special Needs population. I do a LOT of what she speaks about, but also got a lot of really good ideas!
