Objectives

With our project, we aimed to provide effective methods to develop the social, emotional and communication skills of individuals with ASD. Our main goal is to provide educators with the knowledge and skills that will help students with ASD overcome obstacles in their play, socialization and communication skills. In addition, through our project, it is aimed to share good practices from different countries and to provide practical guides for educators and families by creating an online platform. Students with ASD will receive a higher quality education and will be more independent and interactive in daily life. Supporting the professional development of educators and providing innovative approaches to develop social-emotional skills is one of the important goals of our project. In this way, the educational processes of students with ASD will become more effective and efficient.

Background

Our aim in the project is to provide effective methods to help individuals with ASD develop their social, emotional and communication skills. Studies have shown that there are various factors that affect the participation of individuals with ASD in physical activity and that programs in this area need to be supported more. In this context, it is aimed to develop effective and reliable intervention programs for students with ASD and to increase the capacity of educators. This project aims to increase the quality of life of students with autism while ensuring that educators and families can work more efficiently with these individuals.
