Help Us Achieve Our GOALS!

My students need PE equipment, such as soccer goals and cones, that is able to adapt to their special needs. They have the ability to be successful, but equipment is not always designed for them!

My Students

Imagine the thrill of making a soccer goal. Now imagine that you can't see yourself make that goal. This is just one example of the unique challenges my students face when it comes to physical education. Equipment isn't always built with their special needs in mind.

My students range in age from 3-21.

They attend one of the seven public schools I service as an Adapted PE Teacher. Just like any child, they love to play! Many of my students are in special day classes with other students with (dis)abilities. My students love coming to PE and are eager to get moving. Our class is very structured and we work on several areas of physical fitness. My students all have their own strengths and pose different challenges in the PE class setting. Some students have a hard time understanding the concept, some are unable to physically perform tasks, and other are physically and cognitively capable but are not able to safely participate in PE with general education students. My students are not defined by these titles, but their disabilities include: Intellectual Disabilities, Developmental Delay, Autism, Orthopedic Impairments, Visual Impairment, and Specific Learning Disabilities.

My Project

We are requesting a variety of PE equipment which is all designed to adapt to the special needs of the class. 1. a net that can be brought attached to a cone, creating a lower level for students who are unable to hit a ball over a standard net on our school yards 2. a bell ball that will enable students with blindness to hear the ball hit the target 3. push/talk buttons that record my voice and give students the directions at the different fitness stations (for students who can't read or need to hear directions repeated) 4. collapsible goals that can be brought into the gym, where students are able to safely participate without the distractions of the outdoor yard 5. cones that hold task cards, in order to display instructions for fitness stations 6. fitness task cards which have pictures and tasks, giving students the ability to work independently on skills 7. spider balls which move slower, allowing students to spend more time on skill development rather than chasing stray balls

I want my students to leave my class feeling like they were successful.

So often we (my students and I both) become frustrated by the equipment because it wasn't made for our special abilities. There are certain things we can't change, but it is within our power to make adjustments to where we play, how we perform tasks, and the equipment we use. Please help us buy some equipment that will help us achieve our goals!
