Transitioning students with disabilities into inclusive physical
education environments is an important and sometimes challenging
task. But Strategies for Inclusion, Third Edition, makes that
transition much smoother and better for all parties involved. Lots
of New Resources and Material The latest edition of this popular
adapted physical education text will empower you with the
information and tools necessary to successfully include students
with disabilities in your program. Strategies for Inclusion
reflects the latest research and legislation, so you can be sure
that your program is not only successful but also compliant with
the goals and requirements of the Individuals with Disabilities
Education Improvement Act. The text has retained and updated its
instruction on assessing students, making placement decisions,
developing and implementing individualized education plans (IEPs),
and more. And it offers this completely new material: A new chapter
on the referral, eligibility, and placement process, covering the
nine steps required by law A new chapter on transition planning and
how you can help students integrate into their communities after
leaving school A new section on Paralympic sports and how they can

improvement A new web resource with numerous useful tools More than
double the number of teaching units (38 units, up from 17), giving
you more options for inclusion The new web resource offers fillable
digital versions of all the modification checklists and rubrics in
the book. You can save materials in order to build an IEP for each
student. You can also access the materials on a mobile device to
use them in the classroom or gym. In addition, the web resource has
an interactive inclusion rating scale that allows you (or an
administrator) to assess how you are doing at including all
students in class activities. This handy tool calculates your total
rating as you fill in the form. Finally, the web resource directs
you to high-quality adaptation information available elsewhere
online. Book Organization and Content The text is split into two
parts. Part I provides foundational information and a roadmap for
how to successfully include children with disabilities in
traditional PE settings. Topics in this part include legislative
issues, roles and responsibilities of the teacher, effective
assessment techniques, the eight-step placement process, and the
teacher's role in the IEP process. Part I also explores how to
manage student behavior, make adaptations to promote universal
design for learning, work with support personnel, and plan for
transition. Part II offers 38 teachable units-a sizable leap from
the previous edition's 17-complete with assessment tools for
curriculum planning. Here you will learn specific strategies for
inclusion as you use a step-by-step implementation guide for 14
elementary units, 11 sport units, 8 recreation units, and 5 fitness
units-all with potential modifications. Adaptations are categorized
by environment, equipment, instruction, and rules. Each unit's
assessment rubric has quantitative and qualitative measures of
skill level. And you'll find ideas in each unit on how to
incorporate IEP objectives that may not be part of the general PE
class objectives. A Complete Resource for Inclusion Strategies for
Inclusion offers you the most up-to-date and useful strategies to
include children with disabilities in your physical education
activities. Its practical applications and easy-to-implement
planning and assessment strategies make this a complete resource
that you can use to empower all students with the knowledge that
they can enjoy the full range of benefits that physical activity
offers.
