Abstract
From the cover. Physical Activities for Young People With Severe Disabilities will help you provide high-quality physical education for students with cerebral palsy, spina bifida, and other orthopedic impairments that inhibit their ability to function physically. This guide features 50 illustrated activities that use common objects as equipment and can be set up in a variety of environments. The ready-to-use activities are organized by area of skill or fitness (balance and flexibility, muscular strength and cardiorespiratory endurance, coordination, and moving in space) to help you quickly locate the activities best suited to your students' needs, skills, and individualized education programs (IEPs). This compact resource also contains: evidence-based research that outlines the benefits of physical activity for people with disabilities and that you can use to support your adapted program; safety tips and teaching strategies for working with students with disabilities; high and low variations to guide you in adapting each activity for students with a wide range of abilities, and informal assessment questions so you can gain feedback about each activity's effectiveness for the students. Regardless of their impairments, students benefit from physical activity. Physical Activities for Young People With Severe Disabilities presents the ready-to-use information you need to help them receive those benefits.
