My Project

My students with disabilities love participating in Adapted Physical Education class. Sometimes their enthusiasm wanes when they're forced to use equipment that is developmentally inappropriate for them.

The equipment provided in this project will allow my students with disabilities to improve their hand-eye coordination with special sensory equipment that will be extra enjoyable to grasp, squeeze, and catch during Adapted Physical Education.

With this equipment, including an electric hot potato and egg toss catching equipment, assorted squeezy, stretchy, and fidgety balls and toys, soft foam rocket launchers, bubble-making supplies, and soft foam frisbees, my students with disabilities will remain more engaged during Adapted Physical Education class and will be able to use developmentally appropriate equipment that will help them gain the skills and knowledge they'll need to continue leading healthy and active lives.
