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.

- 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 be infused into your curriculum
- New material on functional behavioral assessments, behavior intervention plans, leadership opportunities, training techniques for peer tutors and paraeducators, and more
- A new inclusion rating scale that will help you rate how inclusive your classes are and show you areas for 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
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.
