Goal

The goal is to ensure each student is provided with physical education services that meets their specific needs. We are striving to enhance motor skill development and self-esteem in all students.  

 

What will be done with my students

Adaptive equipment will be utilized to help special need students participate in the physical education setting. Equipment specifically would be the following:
1. Hand balls (sensory)
2. Create-A-Course (coordination)
3. Hoppers (strength/balance)
4. Urban rebounder (aerobic capacity/ADHD)
5. Adjustable multi-ring stand (adjustable basketball goal)
6. Foam dome (core strength/balance)  

 

Benefits to my students

This equipment would have a lasting on all of the special needs students at our school in the present and future. It would have the following benefits:
1. Improve self-esteem
2. feeling of accomplishment
3. reduction in anxiety
4. enhance motor skills

Some of the gen-ed equipment doesn't target the needs of all students in our physical education classes. We want to be more inclusive and provide as many resources as possible to increase student success.
