This study was designed to evaluate the instruction of children with autism spectrum disorder as they were taught basic hockey skills. Novice instructors with no hockey background but a willingness to instruct the athletes completed skill training. The study was conducted across three phases: baseline where the coaches received no instruction on how to properly engage and reinforce the athletes to demonstrate hockey skills, training where the coaches received a hands-on 90-minute training session on proper teaching skills, and a post-training coaching training. Our results indicate that persons with limited hockey experience and knowledge can benefit from a brief training session followed by limited in-vivo training.
