Hello, my name is Gina and I am currently a Health and Physical Education major with a minor in Adapted Physical Activity at Slippery Rock University. Upon graduating and getting a job I was hoping to be able to either start my own or add to the Adapted Education program by providing some classes for all students. I want to educate everyone not only those with physical, emotional, and intellectual disabilities but also able bodied students, while providing a chance to participate in adapted sports. My question is whether or not to make the classes available for all students as part of a PE curriculum or to cut out the extra classes and just include them in the regular PE schedule? |

Dear, Gina
As a fellow student at Slippery Rock University student majoring in Health and P.E. and a minor in Adapted Physical Activity, I feel that everyone should be included in adapted sports. I feel my participation in Sport and Disability has provided an invaluable experience to me. Theses experiences will help me thought out my life to understand and experience life not being able bodied first hand. Upon graduation when I begin teaching I plan to have all students participate in adapted sports to broaden their view and understanding about disability sports. I am very excited about what I learned from personally experiencing disability sports.

I definately agree with you Carly. I also took the class Sport and Disabilty and it gave me a bigger perspective on disability sports. I think that everyone should have the chance to participate in these types of sports, disabled or not, so they will understand the games and maybe people will learn how to accept those who are disabled more if they "walk in their shoes" for a while. I believe that by teaching disabled sports in a regular PE class, children will be more motivated to try and learn more about the challenge and the wide variety of disability sports! |

I also agree that adapted education should be taught to all students. I am also a Health and PE major with a minor in adapted physical activity at SRU. I Think some of the games and activities we learned in class would definitely be fun for able bodied kids as well as the adapted students such as goal ball. |

I agree that adapted education should be taught in schools to all students. I think the activities and games would greatly benefit kids. |
