Summary

The purpose of the study is twofold. First, the investigator wants to identify the effect of a 12-week online fundamental motor skills (FMS) (e.g., throwing, catching, running) intervention on active participation in physical recreation activities as well as a variety of other factors(parental stress, parental self-efficacy, and children's adaptive skills). Second, the investigator also wants to identify patterns, benefits, constraints, and strategies to active participation in physical recreation activities among families of children with developmental disabilities such as autism, down syndrome, etc (post-program) via focus groups interviews (via zoom) with parents. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two protocols: 1) Intervention group and 2) wait-listed home-based group. Participants in both groups will receive an activity booklet (in the form of an App) and physical education-related activity items (e.g., ball, hoop). The investigator hypothesizes that both the intervention group will improve in all measures from pre to post compared to the wait-list control group. The study team wants to determine if the differences in the intervention group differ significantly or are equitable in terms of gains in all areas.
