ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a description of a physical education program implemented in Buenos Aires, Argentina. This program, specifically tailored for individuals with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders, builds bodily skills to first learn to sense the body through movements at the individual level, and then prepare the body for dyadic interactions at the clinic and the home. Through practice and evaluation of experts from an interdisciplinary team, we take the person through a step-by-step journey to find his or her way to social exchange outside the confines of the clinic or the home. We suggest that this step-by-step program, which is so successful in Argentina, could be of use to the schools and homes of the United States, where through team sports and socially oriented games the families, teachers, and children could learn to communicate with and be welcomed by their social medium.
