Physical activity can have a wide range of benefits, but participation in physical activity in school is lower for autistic students compared to non-autistic students. The project is looking to involve PE teachers and reflecting on their experiences of teaching autistic students in school. The research is being done by the Centre for Neurodiversity and Development at Durham University; they are particularly interested in physical activity preferences, and barriers to physical activity linked to sensory and anxiety issues for autistic young people.

The researchers hope that this study will provide recommendations to improve physical activity provision in school and increase participation for autistic students. They are looking for insight from teachers of PE in UK mainstream and specialist schools.
