We all know what the benefits of physical activity are for our children
• Improved cognitive benefits
• Better emotional and psychological health
• Improved social and motor skills
• Improved self-esteem
These benefits can make a huge difference to many of our children including those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
For over 10 years now, the Next Step Foundation has been building inclusive pathways for children of all abilities through their FREE soccer programs.
This unique football program had been offered through collaborations in primary schools and through standalone community programs.
The time is now right we believe to evolve our program to embrace the evidence that inclusion in the mainstream learning environment offers superior social and skills opportunities for children. We will partner with Soccajoeys Kids Soccer Classes to support the full participation of children within the mainstream football skills development setting.
Next Step Foundation
