Adapting PE Activities for Students with Diverse Abilities
Ideas to Promote Participation from an APE Specialist
COMING SOON!
Are your students with disabilities actively participating in physical education (PE)? Do you need creative adaptation ideas to help them engage with their peers in PE exercises and games?
Join Matt, an APE Specialist, in this practical course designed for OT, PT, and Speech Practitioners, as well as A/PE teachers. Gain easy-to-implement strategies to ensure students with diverse abilities are included in PE activities.
Carlo begins with an overview of the CDC’s physical activity (PA) guidelines for children and youth, highlighting how collaboration among A/PE teachers and OT, PT, and Speech practitioners opens opportunities for all students to meet the PA guidelines and participate meaningfully in PE. Matt will then discuss the legislative background that supports inclusive PE and APE practices. To jumpstart your team’s collaborative efforts, Matt will equip you and your team with details on activity setup and implementation of his many ideas for adapting fitness exercises, ball control activities, games and sports. He’ll also cover activities for older students and the use of do-it-yourself assistive technology. Throughout the course, Matt will use videos for easy replication of the adaptations. He will also share multiple online resources to inspire further ideas.
Walk away from this course with a toolkit of practical strategies, tips, and resources ready for immediate use to support your students’ active participation in PE!
