T2O - Time 2 Outdoor

In the concept of the project proposal, we aim to increasing participation in sports and physical activities children with fewer opportunities. In the project proposal, “children with fewer opportunities” refers children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) (i.e., a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication). Children with fewer opportunities have noticeable differences from others in how they talk, behave, and learn. These situations cause barriers to social interactions. Likely, children with fewer opportunities cannot reach outdoor physical activity opportunities because of limits and Covid-19. On the other hand, physical activities are necessary for them. During pandemic, children with fewer opportunities stay inactive at home and they didn’t reach their specialized education, physical activities, and educators due to lockdown. Inactive life conditions and low levels of physical activities might have negative effects on the quality of life, health, and well-being of the children with fewer opportunities.In the project, scholars and specialists will work to develop a toolkit. In the academic stage, scholars who works about children with autism and sport psychology and other practitioners will have a seat to prepare an educational curriculum. In educational curriculum, there will be outdoor activities compatible with children with fewer opportunities. Healthy nutritional strategies and in the physiotherapy sub-division, the project will support motor development and preventing sports injuries, support motor development, and increase muscle flexibility (in a framework with gymnastic). Participants and their psycho-social environment will receive balanced nutrition education and healthy nutrition. Sport coaches also will be trained for children with fewer opportunities. The project'll be disseminated with events.
