The Pulse Table Tennis Sports School, together with the organization Special Ukraine, has launched a unique training project for children with autism. This initiative is aimed at supporting children with special needs, promoting their physical and social development through the game of table tennis. Table tennis as a tool for development

Table tennis is not only a fun sport, but also an effective way to develop coordination, fine motor skills, and attention. For children with autism, such training becomes especially useful, as it helps improve their concentration, develop physical activity, and communication skills.

In addition, table tennis is a game that does not require a large space or special conditions. It provides an opportunity for individual work, which is especially important for children with special needs. The approach of Pulse coaches

Pulse School trainers have undergone special training from experts at Special Ukraine to understand the specifics of working with children with autism. The training uses adapted methods:

  • Step-by-step learning . Exercises are divided into small stages so that children can gradually master each element.

  • Positive motivation . Coaches always support children, emphasizing their successes, even in the smallest achievements.

  • Individual approach . Each child receives attention based on their needs and abilities.

Social interaction

Special emphasis is placed on the development of social skills during training. Playing in pairs or teams helps children learn to cooperate, support each other and communicate. This contributes to their social integration and increases self-confidence. Future plans

The collaboration between Pulse and Special Ukraine continues. The plan is to expand the program so that even more children with autism can join the classes. We strive to create a supportive environment where every child feels comfortable and confident.
