SECTION 1: DESCRIPTION OF THE YOUNG PERSONPatrick is a seven-year old Irish boy who has autism and the associated behaviours of delayed social and communication skills. Patrick has three older siblings, a sister who is nine-years old and two brothers who are eleven and thirteen years old respectively. He has a more engaging relationship with his sister than his brothers and his mother believes this is due to his sister being more patient with Patrick favouring the repetition of tasks over and over again. Patrick's father works as an estate agent selling houses in the main town; his mother does not work. Patrick's mother takes him to school every morning and collects him at the end of each day.Patrick attends the i-PLAY (Inclusive Play and Leisure Activities for Youth) programme at the local University once a week over a ten-week period. This programme is designed for children, youth, and young adults with special needs to have an opportunity to play and interact socially with peers. Participants are engaged in a range of physical activities (e.g., dance and games) and each is paired with 3 rd year pre-service physical education teachers to ensure the young person can receive individual attention, support, and encouragement. The focus of i-Play is promoting physical activity for young people and incorporating it into their daily lives (i.e., at school, after school, and at home).
