PE 321 - Adapted Physical Education I

This course addresses the “inclusion movement” as it applies to teaching physical education to students with disabilities. Students will explore the history and philosophy of adapted physical education, laws that impact adapted physical education and sport participation, individualized education programs, and instructional strategies that can enhance the well-being of students with and without disabilities. Students will incorporate the adaptive teaching progressions in sport skills to teach their peers in a physical education setting. Aquatic skills will be emphasized.
