Exciting News!
The MIND-PLAY basketball therapy program for adolescents with autism at the Min Yoongi Center, Severance Hospital, was developed from KASEC’s DRIB (Developing Relationships in Inclusive Basketball) US-based model.
In a recent study published in Research in Autism, KASEC provided evidence that its inclusive basketball program can enhance social skills and promote the physical and emotional well-being of individuals with autism spectrum disorder. With research support from the Organization for Autism Research, KASEC also developed the DRIB Manual and Toolkit to facilitate the broader implementation of the model.
KASEC’s contribution went beyond sharing the program. We provided training and guidance to the Severance team, who thoughtfully adapted the model to match Korea’s healthcare system. This partnership is a meaningful example of how organizations can learn from one another, share expertise, and work together across borders to create innovative programs that benefit individuals with developmental disabilities.
We are also grateful for the vision and support of BTS (λ°©νƒ„μ†Œλ…„λ‹¨)‘s SUGA (Min Yoongi), whose generosity has helped bring greater awareness to the importance of creating inclusive opportunities for individuals with autism.
For more than a decade, KASEC has believed that basketball is about much more than the game itself. It can help build friendships, confidence, strengthen communication skills, and create a true sense of belonging.
Seeing a model developed by KASEC create a meaningful impact across the world reminds us that when organizations collaborate and share knowledge, they can create opportunities that change lives.
We remain committed to developing innovative, evidence-informed programs, training professionals, and partnering with organizations around the world to build more inclusive communities for individuals with developmental disabilities. πŸ’™
