It was attended by more than 30 teachers, youth workers, volunteers and coaches, who got acquainted in detail with the training program and had the opportunity to discuss, exchange opinions, ideas and impressions regarding the conducted training modules. After the meeting, participants expressed the opinion that sports and sports programs can be very beneficial for children who suffer from various types of disorders, including ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and stress-related disorders, destructive and impulsive behavior or depressive disorders.
Sports and exercise can reduce stress and anxiety and regular physical activity can help children reduce stress and anxiety levels in their lives – physical activity provides an outlet for stored energy and can be used as a source of relaxation . Sports can boost self-esteem and regular participation in sports programs can help children improve their health and be more confident. Participating in sports programs can also help children develop social skills such as patience, teamwork and respect for others, sports programs involve cooperation and communication between participants and help children learn to control their impulsive behavior by focusing on various tasks and exercise their discipline and self-control.
The initiative promotes social inclusion and equal opportunities, and its main goal is to develop a methodology for physical education using sports activities, sports games and exercises for children and young people with intellectual, developmental and other disabilities. The project team is focused on the groups that have to overcome more challenges in the inclusion in sports activities, games and exercises.
The developed methods are suitable for children with ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma and stress-related disorders, destructive and impulsive behavior, depressive disorders, obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, autism and low cognitive ability. The modular approach meets the needs of the individuals involved in the project and is structured to be used by teachers and parents of children with special needs.
