As most people know, "If you've met one person with autism, you have met one person with autism". Every child in my autism self contained class has his or her own unique set of needs and challenges. However, what they all have in common is the difficulty to fully communicate, understand and regulate feelings which can result in extreme behaviors. Research has shown that students with autism who participate in weekly yoga programs experience a reduction of pain, anxiety, aggression, obsessive behaviors, and self-stimulatory behaviors. For my students to fully reap these benefits, I have asked for yoga mats, yoga blocks and yoga straps. This will allow me to focus less on whether the student is comfortable and/or correctly performing a pose and focus more on the actual therapy and teaching of yoga.
