Fall and Spring Semesters
Taught on Tuesday evenings from 4:30 to 7:15 pm. This course focuses
on how to adapt physical activities
for individuals with disabilities. During the last six weeks
of the semester each student is paired with an
individual with a disability and works with him/her on sports activities,
fitness activities, and aquatic activities.
It is a great hands-on clinic, and provides many opportunities to learn
about assessment, IEP development,
and adapting activities.
