By tailoring equipment to suit varying cognitive and motor skill levels, equipment such as foam discs, scarves, adaptive hockey and bowling sets has helped remove barriers that previously excluded many students from active involvement. Equipment such as larger or softer balls, textured grips, and simplified games provide opportunities for students to succeed and enjoy physical activity at their own pace. This inclusion fosters greater confidence, motivation, and a sense of achievement, encouraging students to stay physically active and develop lifelong health habits.\r\n\r\nThe adaptive equipment promotes social interaction and peer inclusion within physical education classroom. Students with intellectual disabilities can meaningfully participate alongside their peers, helping to break down social stigmas and build a more inclusive environment. Teachers are better able to differentiate instruction and create activities that accommodate diverse abilities. The impact of the donation of adaptive physical education equipment extends beyond physical development, contributing to a more equitable and supportive educational experience.","fullyFundedDate":1746457561154,"projectUrl":"project/adaptive-physical-education-equipment/9216097/","projectTitle":"Adaptive Physical Education Equipment","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Senne","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-1_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/9986360"},{"teacherId":8634901,"projectId":8306862,"letterContent":"My students and I greatly appreciate your contribution to our classroom!
