Fitness Activities for Children with Autism

At Alee Behavioral Healthcare, we hope to use our expert knowledge to ensure that every child we are entrusted to work with at our autism clinic reaches their full potential, be that academic, personal, or physical. Studies have shown that encouraging a child with autism to engage in sporting activities can have a range of health benefits.
