🏃🤸♀️ “Physical activity can help children with autism to improve motor skills, reduce stereotypic behaviours, and enhance social functioning.” Chien-Yu Pan, 2010
Autism in Motion (AiM) aims to promote physical and mental well-being in children (8-13) with autism through the use of digital innovation, while also appropriately equipping parents, teachers, and other individuals interacting or working with children with ASD in efforts to diminish marginalisation and promote inclusion.
🤝 The second transnational project meeting of the project took place in Poland, Łódz, between the 17-18 July 2025, hosted by Politechnika Łódzka. During the meeting, partners had the opportunity to discuss the development of the professional development programme for educators, and set the next steps for the development of the VR game and Makey Makey targeting the physical and mental wellbeing of children (8-13) with autism.
🙌 We would like to thank the coordinator of the project and our host Politechnika Łódzka (Poland), as well as Διεύθυνση Πρωτοβάθμιας Εκπαίδευσης Δυτικής Θεσσαλονίκης (Greece), APPDA Coimbra (Portugal), Национална асоциация на ресурсните учители (Bulgaria), and HPO Sports (Cyprus) for a fruitful meeting.
