HERSA - HEMSBALL , RISING SUN FOR AUTISM

Our project is an” Erasmus Plus Small Scale Sports Project '' under the coordination of Aydin Youth and Sports Provincial Directory with the participants from Cus Palermo, Italy; Vso De Hoge Burg, Netherlands; DAA, Denizli-Turkey. The main idea of this project is to introduce a brand new sport Hemsball which isn’t known in Europe and share our pre-study results showing the beneficial effects of Hemsball on children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder). Hemsball will enhance an innovative approach in our study as being a brand new sport branch which can be played everywhere, at every age by everyone. In this project all partners will be working equally by carrying out training for our target group autistic children. Each partner will work with 4 volunteer trainers and each trainer will work with two autistic children individually two hours a week for 4 months. All the trainers will have the knowledge required for those training activities in the first mobility trip to Turkey from the experts of Hemsball and Autism. In order to evaluate the process benefits there will be a measurement section before and after the training section. The measurements of the children’s abilities will be taken with a certified technique Bruininsky-Oseretsky by our measurement experts. Pre-training, during-training and post training reports will show the beneficial result of Hemsball to help development of their inefficient abilities. More over there will be activities which will be implemented in cooperation with all the project partners to support the project objectives. As the project coordinator we guarantee to work with our partners for the significant aspects due to the” Inclusion and Diversity” part of the Erasmus Plus guide book. By showing the positive results of our project with our dissemination activities in all partner countries within our international network we aim at suggesting an innovative approach to help the children with autism.
