The biggest and most important key to having APE in the schools across Texas is the fact of “inclusion.” Inclusion in education describes an approach wherein students with special educational needs spend most or all of their time with non-disabled students.1 From my experience and working with students with disabilities in Erath county school systems, the students want to just be included and to feel wanted by others. To include these students into regular physical education classes will benefit both groups and the teachers as well.
Benefits for Children with Disabilities:
- more stimulating environments
- role models who facilitate communication, social and adaptive behaviors
- improved competence in IEP objectives (IEP- Individual Education Program)
- opportunities to make new friends and share new experiences
- greater acceptance by peers
- membership in class and school
Benefits for children without Disabilities:
- more accepting of individual differences
- more comfortable with students with disabilities
- become more helpful in general
- acquire leadership skills
- improved self-esteem
Benefits of Inclusion of Teachers:
- awareness/appreciation of individual differences in all children
- access to specialist/resources that can help all children
- learn new teaching techniques that can help all children 2

These are just some quick and simple benefits that I found while researching APE.
Here is a quick video click YouTube to view all of the benefits listed above and so much more. It will show just a glimpse of how important it is to include all students with disabilities into regular physical education classes as well as everyday activities.

I enjoy the idea of integrating special needs kids with kids without disabilities. I think it would benefit the kids without disabilities too.
ReplyDeleteCole that is the biggest problem I can see right now in todays school systems is that they will not integrate the kids together
ReplyDeleteI was haven herpes 2 on my private part. I have had them for about 2 and a bit years. I am so scared what my mates are going to says if there should fined out i have herpes on my private part and due to the virus my girlfriend broke up with me. I have been to the Doctors 9 times to get it treated. They all come back. I have been using Tee Tree Oil and Wartner (You freeze them at home) and they seem to be keeping the smaller herpes small but they can't seem to treat the larger ones. They don't get any bigger, but then they can't shrink as much. They get smaller a little part at a time. At least they are getting smaller! As soon as I see a new herpes appearing, then I treat it. At the moment I have been using Tee Tree twice a week and then using Wartner every 2 weeks. I was wondering if there was any other information about how to get rid of it. I am only a teenager and I hate it most when it get pi-chins me to scratch it, it get sweets when scratching it most times! I want to get rid of it so bad!
