Play supports brain health, creativity and wellbeing. For those who are autistic and neurodivergent, play can be a powerful pathway to joy, connection and self-regulation.

That's why Proof Positive is excited to introduce Permission to Play, a new wellbeing skill designed to support parents, educators, service providers and autistic individuals in recognizing play as essential for wellbeing.

MyPhysicalEducator.com, curated by Brad Weiner, Adapted Physical Education Coordinator in Fairfax County, Virginia, is a comprehensive website designed specifically to support adapted physical education teachers. The site offers a wide range of tools, lesson plans, and professional development resources to help educators deliver engaging, standards-based physical education programs for students with disabilities.

The goal of MyPhysicalEducator.com is to empower teachers with practical, field-tested resources that promote lifelong fitness, physical literacy, and wellness for all learners. One of the most valuable sections of the site is the Resources tab, particularly the Documents and Forms collection. This area serves as a true “gold mine” for adapted physical education professionals and includes:

• Sensory processing assessments

• Early childhood assessments

• Assessments for students with significant support needs

• Lists of accommodations and modifications for IEPs
