Course Purpose/Description: The purpose of this course is to provide ideas and strategies in assessment and physical activity opportunities for teachers who work with students with severe and multiple disabilities and to provide practical applications for implementing the teaching strategies into physical education and adapted physical education classes. In addition, including SMD in your general physical education classes or unified physical education classes. Working with students with SMD can be very challenging as we want to ensure ALL of our students are able to engage in appropriate levels of physical activity. This course will provide ideas for conducting appropriate assessments for SMD, as well as strategies for including SMD in our general physical education classes, modified or unified physical education classes and center based or self-contained adapted physical education classes. Students will engage in the content through reading assigned articles, accessing the text online resources, videos, and responding to writing prompts.
