Legislation for ChangeSlide2
Individuals with disabilities are restricted by access, opportunity and attitudes.
Quote of the DaySlide3
Adapted physical education is physical education designed to meet the needs of children with disabilities. It is a service that children receive not the placement (Lieberman, 2010).
Adapted physical education programs are those that have the same objectives as the regular physical education program, but in which adjustments are made in the regular offerings to meet the needs and abilities of exceptional students (Dunn, 1997).
DefinitionSlide4
Based on your beliefs and values:
All individuals at all ages can benefit from physical activity.
All individuals can learn when adaptations are incorporated into instruction.
All individuals deserved access to high-quality instruction that enhances self esteem and contributes to a healthy lifestyle.
Philosophy is FoundationalSlide5
Physical Education followed the Medical Model
(1900 – 1950)
Students with disabilities did not participate in Physical Education or they were placed in corrective physical education, specifically students with physical disabilities.
Many students with cognitive or behavioral disabilities were in institutions and participated in recreational activities if physically able.
Historical PerspectiveSlide6
Medical model sees deficits, activity is to fix what is wrong. The approach is low achievement expectations. (Not going to get better)
Social model views acceptance of difference. Sees ability to learn and improve. Looks for possibilities of what can be.
Moved from a medical model to a social model in physical educationSlide7
A state-supported institution for children with intellectual disabilities. The school was designed for 4,000, but by 1965 it had a population of 6,000. At the time it was the biggest state-run institution for people with mental disabilities in the United States.
Conditions and questionable medical practices and experiments prompted Senator Robert Kennedy to call it a "snake pit.".
