TKD for ASD at Hansoo Taekwondo Academy

Our specialized TKD for Autism Spectrum Disorders program has been empowering children on the Autism spectrum for over 12 years with incredible results! Through our unique approach to relating to each student individually, these specialized classes are geared towards the specific learning style of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders. Visuals, timers, social stories, and TAG teaching are some of the techniques that are incorporated into the classes along with the methodology of Taekwondo teaching. Peer models are used to encourage children and model techniques associated with Taekwondo. As children become successful, they begin to attend integrated classes that are run like traditional Taekwondo classes with the goal in mind to attend regular classes. This approach has allowed the children to learn the art of Taekwondo in a comfortable setting that encourages them to challenge themselves and find self-fulfillment and confidence while not overwhelming them.
