| Résumé : |
Autistic individuals often experience co-occurring mental and physical health challenges and face barriers to participating in inclusive community-based physical activity programs. This mixed-methods study explored the perceived benefits and challenges of a community-based inclusive basketball program from the perspectives of caregivers of autistic individuals and nonautistic peer partners. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, we collected quantitative data through Likert-type items and qualitative data through open-ended survey responses. Fourteen caregivers and nine nonautistic peers participated. Quantitative findings indicated high satisfaction, strong interests, and perceived improvements in quality of life, social engagement, physical health, and reduced stress among autistic participants. Peer partners also reported high satisfaction and interest. Thematic analysis of qualitative data revealed enhanced emotional and physical well-being, social connection, increased self-confidence, and motivation among autistic youth. Peer partners described meaningful relationships, personal growth, and a desire to continue participating. Integrated analysis showed convergence across data types, highlighting the potential of inclusive sports to promote mutual benefits and inclusion. Findings highlight the need for structured, community-based inclusive programs in supporting mental, physical, and social well-being for autistic individuals and their peers. |
