Description

Piece It Together is an existing exercise and wellness program created by the Medical University of South Carolina for teenagers and young adults with ASD and other neurodevelopmental disorders. In this project, Piece It Together was adapted to bring the program to a new community using minimal equipment and additional perspectives from the disciplines of occupational therapy, physical therapy, and nursing.
