Andrew M. Colombo-Dougovito

I am an Assistant Professor of Sport Pedagogy and Motor Behavior in the Department of Kinesiology, Health Promotion, and Recreation at University of North Texas (UNT). I, currently, serve as the Director of the UNT Physical Activity and Motor Skill (UNT-PAMS) program and Faculty Liaison to the Kristin Farmer Autism Center at UNT. I am interested in motor skill development and physical activity behaviors across the lifespan of individuals on the autism spectrum. I am also interested in understanding the influence of assessment and intervention to help build motor skills, as well as the societal and environmental structures that can positively or negatively influence physical activity engagement and skill development. When not working, I can be found outside—mountain biking, climbing, and hiking.
