My Project

I teach a wide variety of students ages 3-22. My students have a variety of abilities and backgrounds. Some are typical, who just happen to be deaf. Some are blind, visually impaired, or deaf blind and have a wide range in abilities and strengths. Utah Schools for the Deaf and Blind has multiple campuses and "host" schools. I travel to multiple locations, transporting equipment to teach adapted physical education to 300+ students. My students are unique and require a variety of equipment to allow for maximum success. For example, if we are doing a pickleball unit, you would see one class playing pickleball in the gym using typical equipment and working on age appropriate skills. Another class might be using adapted equipment such as rattle balls and foam paddles. Another class might be working on positioning, head control, and grasping the paddle. Each class has a myriad of adaptations for the activity and equipment. Children learn through movement, exploration, repetition, and sensory experiences. All of my students have some type of sensory impairment. Because of this, the physical learning might look different. The goal for every student is the joy of movement and developing passion for lifelong moving. This is achieved by having the necessary adapted equipment to meet each students individual and diverse needs.

This equipment will allow me to approach universal design for learning in more unique and individualized ways.

Many types of equipment can help students develop skills like reaction time, understanding cause and effect, balance, coordination, strength, endurance, following single and multi-step instructions, and confidence. Items such as the Success Balls are a sensory tool to aid with grip, throwing, catching, and coordination. They are a tactile adaptation which aids students with sensory needs. Thank you for supporting the learning success and movement of my students!
