140 Active Individuals with Disabilities: a Workshop Packed with New Ideas

Tuesday, March 31, 2009: 1:00 PM-5:00 PM
Tampa Convention Center: 10-12
AAPAR/Adapted Physical Activity Council
This hands-on activity based workshop will focus on getting individuals with disabilities involved in activity. Research within schools indicates that teachers feel unprepared for the challenges faced when including students with disabilities in physical education (LaMaster, Gall, Kinchin, & Siedentop, 1998). In part, these are due to a lack of knowledge and training in the area of disability and disability sport. This workshop will provide participants with tools they can immediately implement.
