April is Autism Acceptance Month

Take Advantage of Our Resources for Parents, Teachers, and Coaches

Help us acknowledge and celebrate the active children with autism in your life. Too often, children on the spectrum and others with disabilities are left wandering and wondering when it comes to physical activity and physical education. April is your chance to help bring awareness and acceptance to this community. Exercise Connection offers two principal ways for you to participate:
