To examine the feasibility of a remote judo program for high school students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nine high school students with ASD had been participating in an in-person judo program that transitioned to a livestream format once the stay-at-home orders were mandated. The students completed surveys regarding their experience with the remote sessions. Their classroom teacher completed a semi-structured interview regarding the advantages and disadvantages of the remote format.
Eight out of the nine students attended 92% of the remote classes. All nine students reported feeling satisfied with the remote judo sessions. Reported benefits of the remote format included the structured routine during the pandemic and the opportunity for physical activity. Disadvantages included a lack of space and lack of one-on-one instruction.
The remote judo program appeared to be both feasible and acceptable for youth with ASD.
探讨在新冠疫情期间为患有自闭症谱系障碍(ASD)的高中生开展远程柔道项目的可行性。
九名患有ASD的高中生一直在参加一个面对面的柔道项目,在居家令发布后该项目转变为直播形式。学生们完成了关于他们远程课程体验的调查。他们的课堂老师完成了一项关于远程形式优缺点的半结构化访谈。
九名学生中有八名参加了92%的远程课程。所有九名学生都表示对远程柔道课程感到满意。报告的远程形式的好处包括疫情期间有规律的日常安排以及体育活动的机会。缺点包括空间不足和缺乏一对一指导。
远程柔道项目对患有ASD的青少年似乎既可行又可接受。
