Children with visual impairments are being included into general physical education now more than ever before. Most physical education teachers have little or no experience teaching these children. The end results have been limited physical activity and sport experience for children with visual impairments. This presentation will provide participants with needed resources, products, equipment, videos, books and programs both local to the northwest and across the country to assist teachers to successfully include these children.
