This episode goes beyond fitness, it’s about cultivating flexibility, enhancing communication, and showing up fully in life when the world hasn’t always made room for you to succeed. Dr. Graham Taylor sits down with Eric Chessen, founder of Autism Fitness and a trailblazer in adaptive fitness programming for individuals on the autism spectrum. With more than 20 years of experience supporting neurodiverse athletes, Eric created the PAC Profile—a distinctive framework that integrates physical, adaptive, and cognitive assessments to design truly meaningful fitness programs. Eric’s work uniquely bridges exercise science and behavioral strategies, providing parents, educators, and professionals with practical tools to help individuals with autism develop strength, confidence, and greater independence. Through his comprehensive training and certification programs, Eric has empowered hundreds of professionals worldwide to make fitness accessible, effective, and impactful for this community. Join us as we explore the origins of Autism Fitness, Eric’s innovative approach to merging physical fitness with behavioral learning, and the profound role adaptive fitness plays in enhancing independence and quality of life.
