Adapted PE Teaching Strategies

Remember to look at students with disabilities in your class as the student (person) first and the disability second. Use the disability as an information guideline for including your student!

The activities listed below are a tool to help with inclusion of students with disabilities and working with the motor development of those students on the borderline of qualifying for Adapted P.E. services.

Peer Tutors
The peer tutor or (buddy) programs allow you to set up a structured guideline with which your regular education students can follow to help you and the students with disabilities succeed within the regular physical education class.
