As schools move towards inclusive settings, general physical education (GPE) teachers need the knowledge, skills, and dispositions for educating students with disabilities in general and adapted physical education (APE) settings. The course begins with an understanding of the term disability followed by the legal mandates that define school policy and student placement. Throughout the course an overview of disability will be analyzed with readings that include an analysis of the social medical models designed to challenge the social construction of disability and orientations for practice. Classroom time will include direct teaching of individuals with disabilities.
