While the industry points to technology and equipment as solutions for adaptive fitness, this presentation highlights a crucial—and often overlooked—component: the education of fitness professionals. Backed by evidence and proven success, Coach Dave will explore how education, visual supports, and inclusive tools are key to unlocking long-term growth in a market valued at over $30 billion.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand why adaptive fitness is a growing $30.8 billion opportunity—and what’s missing from the current industry response.
  • Recognize the gap in traditional physical education and how your community has the opportunity to become a trusted resource for individuals who are often left behind.
  • Learn how educating fitness professionals is foundational to meaningful, scalable inclusion in the fitness community.

As an exercise physiologist and fitness coordinator at a school for children with autism, Coach Dave experienced first-hand the challenges of teaching exercise. By understanding that students with autism learn differently, he developed a system that has become a breakthrough in effectively teaching exercise. He is the founder of Exercise Connection and is a published author, researcher, keynote presenter and, in partnership with the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), he created the Autism Exercise Specialist Certificate®.
