As a PE teacher, I found the best unit to use for students with disabilities is Dance. Music therapy with movement is great and the kids really love it. I use small groups so that other kids learn respect, understanding and patience for those we are accommodating. Sometimes kids are better teachers than I am! You would be surprised! I also use task cards. These will have a certain dance move (along with a picture) that will need to be performed in their final dance that they are performing for class. You never know if a student is a better auditory or visual learner so this allows for both which increases their chances for success. |

I had a student with autism that couldn't be over active so I changed class and made it a yoga class. I used the sounds of the ocean in the background and we found that she really enjoyed the sounds and found her calming down. The stretching allowed her para to calm her down and massage her which helped her concentrate and show an understanding of what was expected of her. This also allowed her to participate in PE but not have to be responsible for a understanding a sport that may go too fast for her. We also used the medicine and yoga balls which allowed her to work on her motor skills |
