Promoting Social Acceptance and Inclusion in Physical Education
O'Neil, Kason; Olson, LeAnn
TEACHING Exceptional Children, v54 n1 p6-15 Sep-Oct 2021
In addition to psychomotor and cognitive learning, social development is one of the three pillars of the national standards for physical education instruction. Though a plethora of research has exhibited the benefits social inclusion can have for students with and without disabilities, inclusion cannot be successful unless physical educators are deliberate, persistent, and continually reflective on the needs of students. The purpose of this paper is to outline the state of inclusion of students with disabilities in a general physical education classes and to highlight teacher behaviors and instructional techniques that promote social acceptance and inclusion for all students in physical education.
