Neurodivergent children now have access to a new, exciting way of engaging in physical activity.
Access to quality physical health and wellbeing activities is an important aspect of reducing negative behaviours and increasing mood, improving coping skills, and enhancing overall quality of life.
According to advocacy organisation, Autism Spectrum Australia (ASA), 74% of autistic children would like to participate in physical activity more than they do.
ASA conducted a survey which found the main indicator of reluctant participation was negative past experiences that significantly contributed to the disengagement of many Autistic individuals from physical activities altogether.
Physical health and wellbeing is vitally important for those living with neurological conditions, according to My First Gym.
The fitness website says 8 in 10 children living with autism and other neurological conditions have move challenges which can result in higher body mass and composition, gastrointestinal issues, metabolic disturbances and sleep problems.
This is where Reset Moves, the Australian-developed wellbeing app designed to support neurodivergent children through short, engaging physical interventions, has potential.
The app uses AI-based recognition to track players’ movements, allowing them to play our different games, and leads them through short, motion-based experiences that engage both the body and mind.
The app is already seeing uptake in Australian schools and therapy networks, with further expansion planned nationally and internationally
As a result of the program’s success, Reset Moves has officially been recognised as a Certified Autism Resource by the International Board of Credentialing and Continuing Education Standards (IBCCES).
Liam Casson, CEO of Reset Moves, says the certification is a proud moment for the initiative.
“It validates the work we’re doing to build a supportive, fun, and effective intervention that can help children thrive at home, at school, and in therapy settings—often in under 10 minutes.”
Reset Moves will now be featured on the IBCCES Accessibility App, a global platform that connects individuals with disabilities and their families to certified inclusive products, services, and destinations.
