Equality is one of the cornerstones of education yet achieving an equitable learning environment is challenging, especially in physical education programs. The purpose of this session is to discuss the theoretical implications of implementing Sport for Peace as a curriculum model for inclusive classes including students with ASD. Practical considerations for implementation including strategies for teachers to foster success for students with ASD, as well as plans for future research will be presented and discussed.
