A whole-body movement game for the group you already lead.
Lead one adjustable movement activity for about 7–10 autistic children during an existing group block.
You choose the movement, sound, visuals, pace, and when to pause or switch.
Concept visual only. Does not imply real group recognition or a completed pilot.
Different ways to participate are part of the design brief.
We still need to test standing, seated, wheelchair, smaller, and alternate movements with the program.
How the group activity runs
Pick and set up
Choose movement, sound, and visual settings.
Show one movement
Model one movement and keep directions short.
Move as a group
Let everyone join without putting individual scores on display.
Pause, skip, repeat, or switch
Pause, skip, repeat, or switch the movement as needed.
What autism program teams want to know
Can we lower sound or visual intensity?
The group leader needs separate controls for sound and visual effects before and during the activity.
Can a child watch, step out, and rejoin?
Participation should not depend on staying in the camera frame for the whole activity.
Will one child be singled out?
The concept uses shared progress and does not put individual scores on display.
Can children participate in different ways?
Standing, seated, smaller, and alternate movements remain design requirements to test with the program.
What still needs to be tested
Reliable movement recognition for 7–10 participants in the intended room
Room, camera, and device benchmark required.
How is camera data handled?
Before any center test, we document what the camera captures, where processing occurs, whether video or movement data is transmitted or stored, who can access it, and when it is deleted. A pilot does not begin until the center has reviewed that data flow.
Is this autism treatment or self-regulation therapy?
No. It is a staff-led movement activity concept. It does not diagnose, assess, regulate, or treat autism.
We are testing the concept with autism-program group leaders before calling it ready.
We still need to test standing, seated, wheelchair, smaller, and alternate movements with the program.
Bring one real group schedule to the conversation.
Show us when movement activities happen, who leads them, and what children do when they watch, step out, or rejoin.
A pilot tests group usability. It does not test clinical outcomes.
