The course arrangements were set up by the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD), in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand through the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), and the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand (MSDHS). The first year of the three-year training package (beginning in 2017 and ending in 2019) was conducted at the APCD Training Center, Bangkok, Thailand from 1 to 10 October 2017.

The overall training objectives were to develop the capacity of persons with autism through experiences and knowledge creation in a participatory approach with professional athletes with/without diverse disabilities from Thailand and Japan as role models and to brainstorm the outline of Disability Inclusive Sports (DIS) for Tomorrow activities within the context of Mekong subregion countries.

The training components that are highlighted in the course were created from the knowledge, skills and attitudes from several workshops on Disability-Inclusive Sports from the perspective of inclusive...

.development. These were also culled from actual practices in the field visits and real experiences from international autism development focusing on leisure, recreation and sports. All these activities will allow them a more involved social participation and may be used as case studies on sustainability of their vocational life, including but not exclusive to various disability inclusive sports.

The training participants came from five countries in the Greater Mekong subregion (GMS) namely Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand. External resource persons from Thailand were Mr. Wisud Junrung (expert on athletes with diverse disabilities in middle/high level expertise in Track & Field activities); Mr. Wisutipong Pantong (trainer/expert on athletes with diverse disabilities in middle/high level expertise in swimming) from the Sports Authority of Thailand; and Assoc. Prof. Yukinori Sawae. Japanese resource persons were Mr. Junichi Kojima, Ms. Kei Hiraga, Mr. Masanaga Hayashi (trainer/expert on Flying Disc and Dodgebee). APCD’s Community Development Department resources persons also professionally lent their expertise to make this training experience one of the most powerful catalysts for training participants to become ‘Agents of Change’ through Disability-Inclusive Sports activities. One of the most important outcome at TCTP 2017 is the Bangkok Recommendations where participants learned how to brainstorm and reflect, and eventually share their voices about DIS for Tomorrow. APCD is striving to provide the most instrumental training in the inclusive sports’ field and will continue to be a pioneer in this important work.

TRAINING OBJECTIVES

1. To build capacities of potential athletes with autism and their parents as trainers in practicing popular sports within the ASEAN Paralympic movement towards participation in any national/ international competitions of persons with autism. This can be done by developing their capacity through experiences and knowledge creation in a participatory approach with professional athletes with diverse disabilities from ASEAN countries and Japan as role models;

Bangkok Recommendations through Disability-Inclusive Sports from the Mekong Subregion countries

We, the potential athletes with autism, trainers, parents, and supporters from Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand and Vietnam, in total 24 persons, under the guidance of our resource persons from Thailand Japan, participated in the Third Country Training Programme on Inclusive Development through Disability-Inclusive Sports by the Asia-Pacific Development Center on Disability (APCD), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Thailand International Cooperation Agency (TICA), with support from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security of Thailand, from 1 (Sun) to 10 (Tue), 2017 in Bangkok, Thailand.

Noting that as a result of this training, a platform has been developed to empower and promote the inclusion of persons with autism in sporting competitions in line with the Article 30 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and Inclusive Development through Disability-Inclusive Sports, we hereby push for the following recommendations:

1. With support from the ASEAN Autism Network (AAN) member organizations, the consensus and outcomes of the training including the introduction of Dodgebee (Flying Disc) as a promising sports for persons with autism, should be reflected in the 2018 AAN Congress in Indonesia as a follow-up to the Disability-Inclusive Sports for Tomorrow 2017 which was participated by 10 ASEAN countries and Japan and held alongside the training;

2. Attention should be paid by local, national and regional sports bodies to potential athletes/persons with autism and their trainer/parents/supporters by giving them opportunities to develop their capacities through inclusive sports trainings and participation in local, national, and regional sports competitions such as the 2018 ASEAN Autism Games in Indonesia, the 2019 ASEAN Para Games in the Philippines, and the 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo.

TCTP 2017 Activities

Swimming

Physical activities are an important part in the development of children with autism. Besides promoting a healthy lifestyle, these activities also help decrease obesity, which results in ailments, among children with autism. According to autism experts, exposure to social interaction through team sports, when implemented properly, is an effective intervention program. TCTP 2017 is meant to increase the quality of life of children with autism in an inclusive manner, and help them improve in all levels - physically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally, and socially.

Sharing Our Views

Ms. Somwang Intharath, Lao PDR:
Sabaidee! My name is Somwang Intharath from Vientiane, Lao PDR. I am a teacher of children with autism in Vientiane. The benefit that I got from TCTP is sports knowledge. When we started practicing the sports activities, I learned the importance of warm-up exercises for children and building up the activities. All these make them stronger and help their social interactions. I will encourage them to play more sports back home and ask the parents to fully support their children in playing sports.

Mr. Sai Van Kham, Myanmar:
My name is Sai Van Kham and I’m 18 years old. I like swimming a lot and I always take part in swimming competitions. I also am very interested in football. At the TCTP training, my favorite sports activities are swimming, football and Dodgebee game. I am very happy to be part of TCTP and to compete in the sports events. It’s exciting getting a medal. When I go back home, I will continue to practice swimming and football.

Mr. Nay Myo Naing, Myanmar Autism Association, Myanmar:
The TCTP and DIS are very suitable for my son (with autism). He looks very confident throughout the training. He is getting more fond of continuing his exercises in swimming and football and he really likes Dodgebee so much so we are trying to share this game in Myanmar and I’m sure he will be part of that too.

Sports is important for children with autism. Technically, their brains get more oxygen because of the exercise. My son’s school reports to me that after his football and swimming training, he is more active in classroom activities and participates more in class discussions. He has also developed his organizing and planning skills.

I would like to encourage other parents in supporting their children in sports events and games they are interested in. It helps them have better health. Not only do they get more familiar with the sports, they will also get more familiar with their environment. Who knows what else they can learn through sports activities? Keep observing your children and you will be amazed at what they become and how they will develop.

Ms. Vu Thi Thuy Dung, Vietnam:
I teach children with autism in Vietnam. Having joined this program enabled me to gain lots of knowledge and experience in sports activities, especially those for disabilities and children with autism, including Dodgebee, a brand new sport for Vietnam. I hope that after this program, I will be able to use the knowledge and skills I’ve learned here to teach children with autism back home. Thank you to APCD, TICA and JICA for organizing this very special program.

Sports is very important for children with autism as it helps improve their physical and mental health. With sports, children with autism are able to focus more in the long term. Students with autism who play sports will have more chance and opportunities to integrate into society than those who just stay at home.

Mr. Angkul Jongsathapornsook, ASEAN Autism Network, Thailand:
Sawasdee Krub! My name is Angkul Jongsathapornsook. I’m 27 years old. I am from ASEAN Autism Network (Thailand). I feel very happy to join the TCTP event. I learned new things, gained new friends, new experiences. I like Dodgebee, the flying disc sport. Sports is very important for health as this improves the mind and concentration. My mind becomes stronger and I feel alive all the time. I would like everybody to find the time to play sports because it can make you healthy and give you a smart personality.

Ms. Pimolsiri Srisanguansakul, Thailand:

Sawasdee Kha! My name is Pimolsiri Srisanguansakul. I am 16 years old from Bangkok, I play badminton and Dodgebee in TCTP and DIS. At the DIS, I also joined the musical chair and so many games. I won a gold medal.

When I play sports, I feel really happy especialy when it’s time to receive an award. It always makes me smile. I will practice more and more after TCTP 2017.

Mr. Sam Buntong, Cambodia:

My name is Som Buntong. I will continue to play different sports after the TCTP workshop and practice. I especially like the Dodgebee flying disc game and I’d like to teach my friends in Cambodia how to play this fun game.

Slide 19: Educational Programs and services

We use the standard educational program "Caring are and educating preschool children" issued by the Department of Preschool Education - Ministry of Education and Training to apply for the normal children. However, the program has been adjusted to be suitable with the cognitive level and the developmental age of disabled children in each developmental field.

Slide 20: Besides, we also use special educational programs for children with developmental disabilities such as: Small Steps, Catherine Maurice's Early Childhood Intervention Program for Autistic Children, Individualized Assessment and Treatment for Autistic and Developmentally Disabled Children: Psychoeducational Profile-Revised (PEP-R), Speech Language Therapy, The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS), Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Floortime.

Slide 21: When choosing an educational program for children with autism, we rely on the developmental assessment result of the child through direct contact and testing (PEP III) in order to find the most appropriate one for the child's ability.

Slide 22: Achievements

- Successfully interfered many children who are able to integrate into kindergarten and primary school (each year, we have 2-3 children complete the program of special education and move towards integration education)

- Developed vocational programs for older children (saori weaving: pouches, coasters, squeezes, towels). Handmade products: greeting cards, cross stitch, gardening vegetables, yogurt...

Slide 23: Organized activities for the community to create a friendly playground for children in the Southern region, such as: The Mid-Autumn Festival 2015, Friendly Games 2016-2017.

Slide 38: Continued modernization of the agriculture sector is also key, as agriculture will remain an important driver for growth and poverty reduction in Vietnam for years to come.

Slide 39: The Government of Vietnam continues to show commitment to reforms. Vietnam’s 2011 – 2020 Socio-Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) – a 10 year strategy – highlights the need for structural reforms, environmental sustainability, social equity and emerging issues of macroeconomic stability. It defines three "breakthrough areas": (i) promoting skills development, particularly for modern industry and innovation; (ii) improving market institutions, and (iii) further infrastructure development. The Socio-Economic Development Plan (SEDP) for 2016-2020, approved in April 2016, acknowledges the slow progress on certain policy priorities and emphasizes the need to accelerate reforms. 

Slide 40: d) Major Laws on Disability and particularly on persons with Autism

The Vietnamese government pays great attention to people with disabilities and creates favorable conditions for them, such as the promulgation of Decree 28/2012 of the Disability Law.

People with disabilities are given priority public places such as bus, doctor, etc.

Slide 41: There are many vocational training centers for people with disabilities.

Slide 49: Necessary related information useful for the training:

- Current status and operational challenges of capacity-building of persons with Autism and their parents in your country.

For example, the autistic children are teased when they come their classes. If they go to the park or the playground in the supermarket, they can be shouted or because of their inappropriate behaviours.

Slide 51: Necessary related information useful for the training:

- Recreation, leisure, sports or games that are friendly for persons with Autism
