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. This text is for
you! Edited by experienced educators with expertise in general and
adapted physical education programming, Physical Education for
Children With Moderate to Severe Disabilities will serve as a
valuable resource: • Offers comprehensive strategies for
instruction, assessment, communication, collaborative practices,
peer supports, and effective use of paraeducators • Describes
unique equipment modifications and alternative programming
suggestions • Includes sample lesson plans and assessments that
you can use as is or use as models to create your own • Is
applicable for children with moderate to severe disabilities in
general physical education classes and self-contained PE
environments Physical Education for Children With Moderate to
Severe Disabilities was written by a team of higher education
professionals, practicing physical educators, and adapted PE
teachers. These contributors combine to bring a rich diversity and
a variety of perspectives that ensure the content is relevant to
all teachers. Through this comprehensive text, you will be able to
make sure you are complying with the legal requirements associated
with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act
and the Every Student Succeeds Act, which require that children
with disabilities be given the same opportunities for meaningful
physical education as other children. The text is organized into
three parts. Part I provides foundational information on key
adapted physical education issues, including Universal Design for
Learning, collaborative processes, assessment strategies,
communication practices, and how to use peer tutors and
paraeducators in physical education. Part II helps you acquire the
skills you need to teach students with disabilities. The five
chapters in this section will help you understand sensory
integration theory, develop foundational skills, put your plan into
action, and understand your role and the paraeducator’s role in
disability sport. You’ll also learn how to establish and assess
disability sport, how to program for and assess students in
aquatics, and how to help students transition to recreational
opportunities in the community. In Part III, you receive a
blueprint for implementing successful activities at all levels.
Included are team sports and target games (track and field,
basketball, golf, bowling, and more) as well as lifetime activities
(bicycling, tennis, personal fitness planning, and more). The
result is a resource that provides all the information and guidance
you need to deliver appropriate physical education to children
wiith moderate to severe disabilities. The book will inspire you to
consider the unlimited avenues for participation in sport and
physical activity for all your students—even those with the most
severe disabilities.
