About this title

Synopsis

This revised version has more strategies and ideas on how to include students with disabilities of all ages in general physical education classes. With updated information based on IDEA 1997, this resource helps educators and administrators make the mandated changes necessary for successful inclusion--emphasizing collaborative teaming, including families and their goals in the physical education curriculum, and raising the expectations for children with disabilities. New to this edition are chapters on behaior management, classroom safety, adapted aquatics, and the social aspects of inclusion. Throughout the book, reproducible forms help teachers reach their goals of providing quality, individualized physical education for all their students as they easily organize objectives, plan activities, and track students' progress.
