Physical Education for Children with Moderate to Severe Disabilities

Physical education for children with moderate to severe disabilities / Michelle Grenier, PhD, Lauren J. Lieberman, PhD, editors. Human Kinetics, 2018.

Description: For students with moderate to severe disabilities, instruction in physical education can be a challenge. Many teachers struggle with understanding these students’ complex needs, selecting appropriate content, and finding ways to motivate these students. While many educators consider the social aspects of inclusion a priority, the authors in this text stress active engagement with the curriculum and the use of grade-level outcomes to adapt learning for students with a range of abilities. One thing is certain: The keys to making physical education a positive learning experience are the physical education teachers and adapted physical education teachers who work with these students. Includes: Sample lessons using universal design for learning.
