Games

APE Veggie Walk

The video provides balancing activities for students needing gross motor activities.  Often children with disabilities need to learn techniques such as lifting their foot/feet over to develop skills for physical education.  The props utilized are  items such as large blocks, foot prints, simple boards, strip of carpet, and raised boards to improve their motor abilities.  

The second video shows the vegetables layout on the floor prior to playing the game.  The students learn the names of these foods and gives them a frame of reference for veggies they don't know about.

Adapted Physical Education

Adapted physical education is the art and science of developing and implementing a carefully designed physical education instructional program for an individual with a disability, based on a comprehensive assessment, to give the individual the skills necessary for a lifetime of rich leisure, recreation, and sport experiences to enhance physical fitness and wellness. (Auxter, Pyfer, & Huettig, 2001).
