Sheena Leedham earned her Bachelor of Science degree in health and physical education and her master's degree in education (K-6) at Edinboro University. This led her to specialize in recreational sport/fitness programming for children and adults with autism in the public school setting, a partial hospitalization program, Barber National Institute, a private gym setting, and Turning Pointe Autism Foundation. She serves as a facilitator and consultant for Ohio State University’s Nisonger Center programs: Men’s Aspirations, ACE, and PLAN. It’s here she develops and implements recreational sport/fitness curriculums for young adults with autism. Weekly she trains Dave Tate's sixteen-year-old son with Aspergers (the wonderful Blaine Tate). Her column's goal is to educate families and trainers on why and how to constantly incorporate movement in the lives of children and young adults with autism.
