Students will develop a disability/activity awareness project. Students will create detailed information about a specific disability and ways sport activities can be modified to accommodate the disabilities. Disability- Autism
Details will include: characteristics (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) of the disability, the implications for teaching and teaching strategies that best serve our students. Include other pertinent information and links to resources on the web (at least 5 well-checked websites) Presentations will be approximately 20 minutes in length, include “technology� components where appropriate, and emphasize sample activities that can be used by physical educators either as modifications or in direct application with the targeted special population. The powerpoint needs to be VERY informational with pictures.
The key elements that must be addressed include:
- Characteristics (cognitive, affective, psychomotor) of the disability,
- Sport modifications for your specific Disability
- Implications for teaching and teaching strategies,
- Photos, videos, etc. that can enhance your presentation
- Links to resources on the web.
Projects will be graded on validity of information provided, use of references, the design and presentation of information – including adherence to time frame, and most specifically, the application of the information to physical education settings.
