Adaptive Physical Education Equipment
Funded Sep 21, 2023I am beyond thankful for each of you that generously donated! These students are excited to receive the equipment and begin using it. Having this equipment allows for my students to achieve the same success that their able bodied peers have.
Thank you again for allowing this project to become fully funded.”

Funded Nov 26, 2019I first want to thank each and every individual who helped in purchasing the equipment for my students. While we haven't used all the equipment just yet, we are eager to do so. Due to budget cuts and limited money, the Adaptive Physical Education program has very limited resources. Limited resources limit opportunities for these students to reach full potential. With the resources provided we have been able to break down basic movements in ways that are more understanding for our students.
Our classroom used the colored foot prints in order for our students to better comprehend the movement of their feet during a throw (pictured). The visual of where their feet were supposed to be placed and even which foot to place helped them immensely. We did try this activity before using the foot prints and both instructors and students were visibly frustrated.
The students saw all the new equipment and were ecstatic and eager to use it. In the future we do plan on using everything in a variety of ways. Coming up with new and innovative ways to either break down movements or simplify them so that it is much easier for the student to understand.
Ultimately the success of these students is our overall goal. With your help, we were able to make their success abundant. We are forever grateful.”
