This new episode had two panelist on the show to discuss the new APE app Exercise Buddy. Our two panelist were David Geslak, the creator and founder of Exercise Connection and the app Exercise Buddy, and Melissa Bittner, a fellow Texas Woman's University PhD candidate who is conducting research on the effectiveness of the Exercise Buddy with kids with Autism.
Prior to creating the app, David had created a program specifically developed to empower students with Autism with physical activities. The program was called Exercise Connection. Here is a quick Youtube video on the program.
As well as the app we also discuss the research that is being conducted with the Exercise Buddy and the use of different best practices that are embedded into the app.
If you are interested in purchasing the app to encourage your own students to be more engaged in physical activity and get more out of exercise here is the website to purchase the Exercise Buddy.
We are going to try and launch another podcast that will focus on games and activities for the winter time. Please email me or leave a comment on some of your favorite winter activities and we might mention it in the upcoming podcast!
Happy Holidays,
APE Man!
