ADAPTIVE FITNESS PROGRAMS
Designed for Individuals with Autism & other Special Needs
The Adaptive Fitness Programs adopted by Big Sky Autism Project were developed by Autism Fitness founder Eric Chessen of New York. Eric has a high degree of training in personal fitness and ABA therapy both clinically and academically as well as extensive real world experience. In September of 2018, Monique Prevel, Founder and Head Coach for Big Sky Autism Project, trained under Eric, receiving her Autism Fitness Professional certification in November of 2018, becoming Montana's first and only Autism Fitness Certified Professional. Monique went on to earn her Personal Trainer Certification from National Academy of Sports Medicine in January of 2020. She is continuing her education with Autism Fitness and adding new disciplines to her fitness certification portfolio through multiple certification programs.
Our Adaptive Fitness Programs use the PAC Profile developed by Eric Chessen of Autism Fitness as its foundation. Our programs are one on one, movement based exercise plans that focus on the three main areas of development (Physical, Adaptive, & Cognitive) by identifying and improving pattern dysfunctions, and building strength and stability, helping to improve the individuals every day life through movement.
All our Adaptive Fitness Programs qualify for the Sliding Fee Schedule. Eligibility is determined by the Income Based Payment Program Application process.
Monthly payment plans are available to all clients regardless of eligibility for the Income Base Payment Program. We will not deny services to anyone based on their ability to pay. Please see our Payment Programs page under Services for more Information or click the button below.
