Our goal is to develop a practice that promotes vigorous exercise and movement literacy for all of the kids and young adults we work with. It is about building lifelong physical skills.
"Go play outside and burn off some energy" doesn't always work for some.

Hello!<br />
<br />
Summer approaches and Exercise Is Therapy will be offering a hiking/walking series. <br />
The hikes will range from 4 to 8 kilometres and will be held at a variety of locations including <a href="https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/burns-bog-delta-nature-reserve/" target="_blank">Burns Bog (Delta Nature Reserve)</a>, <a href="http://www.delta.ca/docs/default-source/parks-recreation-and-culture/watershed-park-trail-map-colour.pdf?sfvrsn=2" target="_blank">Watershed Park</a>, <a href="http://www.surrey.ca/culture-recreation/2218.aspx" target="_blank">Serpentine River</a>, <a href="https://www.vancouvertrails.com/trails/tynehead-regional-park/" target="_blank">Tynehead Regional Park</a>.<br />
<br />
The benefits of being in the woods and in nature has been well researched. Play in nature provides resounding therapeutic benefits.<br />
<br />
Sessions will be approximately 3 hours in length and may provide opportunities to get really wet and dirty! Playful activities will be introduced to challenge both <a href="http://brainblogger.com/2009/06/09/what-is-proprioception/" target="_blank">proprioreceptive</a> and <a href="http://vestibular.org/understanding-vestibular-disorder/human-balance-system" target="_blank">vesitbular</a> systems, physical skills and abilities (balance, coordination, gross and fine motor skills).<br />
<br />
Snacks/lunches, and water will be required, as well as a change of clothes.<br />
<br />
Times, dates, and costs will be sorted out but the sessions will be offered under social group sessions and behaviour intervention. These sessions will fit under Autism Funding guidelines.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please contact Malcolm@exerciseistherapy.org if you are interested and for more information.<br />

Balance (slackline, running on concrete barrier), strength (medicine ball), speed/power (going up the slide), coordination (right and left ball hitting), and general movement skills (up and over picnic table).<br />

Met with a client parent, mainstream support worker, and principal about implementing a proactive execise break (3-5 times per day) and have it in the student's IEP.<br />
<br />
The principal is a huge supporter of being active with kids and often runs with those that might need it it more than just to run a marathon....<br />
<br />
Also met with the teacher of the classroom I am running a pilot project in for doing exercise sessions and the school principal. Looking at running a PD session at the school on the proposed program for the teacher and Educational Assistants!<br />

<br />
Is prescribed physical activity a part of that IEP? Not just participation/attendance in gym class because often kids with unique and special needs are not fully integrated. One aspect of integration is that the child is doing THE SAME THING as the their peers which is often not what is happening.<br />
<br />
Integration in gym class may not be possible for your child.<br />
<br />
Is your child in a regular stream classroom, but doing their own thing with the help of a full time Educational Assistant?<br />
Why not have the student spend more time throughout the day being physically active. Advocate to have it written in to their IEP.<br />
<br />
Exercise has many more benefits for students in than being stuck in the back of a room with an EA not really participating. While outside walking, or doing specific exercises EAs have the opportunity to talk with and work on task completion, following instructions, practice speaking (if language is an issue), hand eye coordination, balance, strength (stair climb, bar hang)....all of which can benefit the student's inclass experiences.<br />
<br />
Parents need to advocate for more prescriptive exercise in their kids IEPs.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts and ideas to add?<br />

OK! Here I am sporting my new iPhone 6 I won from the good people at <a href="http://www.dontchangemuch.ca/">www.dontchangemuch.ca</a>.</div>

I'm stoked! I use my phone for work when I am on sessions with my clients taking pictures and most importantly I track our workout sessions using <a href="http://www.runkeeper.com/">www.runkeeper.com</a>.</div>

I simply entered a <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DontChangeMuch?ref=hl">Facebook.com</a> contest on the <a href="http://menshealthfoundation.ca/">Canadian Men's Health Foundation</a> Facebook Page! I have been following the Don't Change Much people for a while. Lets face it...it is hard to be 20 and perfect when you are in your late 40's and just OK! Don't Change Much should resonate with a HUGE portion Canadian men because it can provide some guidance for those that need it and some affirmation for those that are doing what they need to do to stay OK and be a little closer to GOOD.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being OK is just a few steps away from being GOOD....and it doesn't take much.</div>

I learned that some of his flappy behaviour when he is mildly agitated become a little more aggressive! He did not approve of the direction we were going in and kept wanting to stop and turn around. Every minute or so he would ask to stop and turn around and when I got him walking in the non-preferred direction he would get more flappy and aggressive. <br />
<br />
We just kept plugging along...until 25 minutes into our walk...and then I saw the shoulders relax and calmness overcome his body. My friend was back.<br />
<br />
We completed a 6 km walk exploring<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Extensive research on humans suggests that exercise could have benefits for overall health and cognitive function, particularly in later life. Recent studies using animal models have been directed towards understanding the neurobiological bases of these benefits. It is now clear that voluntary exercise can increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (</span><a class="linkText" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(186, 0, 0); border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #316c9d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">BDNF</a><span style="background-color: white;">) and other growth factors, stimulate</span><a class="linkText" href="https://www.blogger.com/null" style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(186, 0, 0); border-width: 0px 0px 1px; color: #316c9d; cursor: pointer; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">neurogenesis</a><span style="background-color: white;">, increase resistance to brain insult and improve learning and mental performance.

There is a lot of research out there that indicates exercise is a fabulous tool in the regulation of many of those listed 'symptoms'.<br />

The other day he and his sister were over for a visit and we went for a quick trip to a park. He rode his bike with my other 10 year old friend (who is a master bike rider) and it was completely normal, typical, standard, not really that exciting, something that kids do.....<br />
<br />
The difference here is that 11 months ago this boy screamed and yelled when he sat on a bike that I had modified by taking off the training wheels and pedals.<br />
<br />
He can now ride with his peers. That is a huge thing.<br />
