Research summary
In order to examine the experience of children with ASC in physical activity at home, at school, and in the local community, parents of children with ASC will be asked a number of open ended interview questions. To see if these experiences are unique to parents of children ASC, parents of non-ASC children will also be interviewed to allow for these perspectives to be compared and contrasted. Participants will be asked 14 open ended interview questions, developed by a Clinical Psychologist, two Assistant Psychologists, a parent of a child with ASC, and a parent of a child without ASC. Questions refer to current activity levels, parent perceptions on activity and their local community, physical activity in school, and opinions on the sports sector and how it can be changed.
