I have a question for the profession....what in the world has happened
to the concept of LRE in the placement issues for children with
disabilities in physical education settings. I have spoken with
several professionals from around the country and each has indicated
that local school districts are taking all students with disabilities
and placing them in regular physical education BEFORE any type of motor
or fitness assessment....if the student demonstrates after several weeks
that this placement is inappropriate, then the school districts begin an
assessment process....What has happened to Child Find? and Assessment
before placement? Has all of Special Education adopted an inclusion
philosophy to the extent of being unlawful? Or have I just been
speaking with \"exceptions\" and not \"rules\"? I have spoken with
professionals here in Indiana, PA, Nevada, and Illinois...are there
more? Is this the procedure in your state? Comments anyone?

Subject: Portfolio Assessment
Mary Alice Cure had written in about documentation of activities with
her
students. She asked about doing photographs as a way of showing that
she'd
done certain things. I don't know the law on this, but someone told me
a few
years ago that one is not allowed to photograph this special group of
kids we
work with without parents' consent. Perhaps someone else knows the law
on
this. We have lots of pictures in our school of kids, regular ed and
special
ed, but the kids are in groups. Special ed kids are not singled out.
One thing I've used with kids who have CP is a scooter board, a long
wooden
one. I lay the child on the board and take a velcro strap or two and
secure
him/her to the board. If the child is able to hold a rope, you could
pull
him/her. If not, just going for a ride is fun. Also, I had our
maintenance
people build a larger scooter with a place for an exercise mat on it and
a
hole for a rope at the top. This worked well.
Pulling velcro balls off of velcro targets is a good pulling activity.
Pushing a bowling ball or similar ball down a ramp and aiming at bowling
pins
is also good.
Stretching exercises are good, too.
You definitely need a ball with bells or a beeper in it for your 2 kids
who
are blind. Sighted kids can help them run in a game or just run for
exercise
as long as it's in a safe area.
Lauren Lieberman has written a book about working with these kids. She
has
many activity ideas and equipment ideas, too.
There's an excellent convention held the first week of March in
Greensboro,
NC. It's called \"A Total Commitment.\" It's held at North Carolina A &
T
University. I've only gone one year, but I learned so much. It's from
March
6 - 9th.
Hope this helps.

Subject 1: seizure activity
I just came home from a great workshop on adapted activity. One of the
presenters mentioned the fact that hyperventilating (going into anerobic
debt) and spinning (as in sitting in swing and spinning for vestibular
stimulation) could \"activate\" seizures in some individuals. Has anyone
else ever heard of this and what precautions should be taken? What is
the medical cause of this?
Subject 2: Re: We Can Only Make It Work Together
I have several students who cannot count their own pulse rates because
they lack the sensitivity in their fingers. Some of my other students do
not have the cognitive skills to count. Can anyone share how they have
used heart rate monitors with their special students? I also have one
students who cannot\"exert\" himself do to uncontrolled seizures. His
seizures are very severe and can involve several periods of apnea. We
have been instructed to call the paramedics if he does seizure. Are the
monitors accurate enough to trust in this kind of situation?
Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

Subject: APE and OT/Pt
I work in an Education Center for Trainable, Severely, Autistic, and
Severely Multipy Impaired students. I collaborate with the OT and PT
staff on all of our students for IEP goals, ideas, equipment sharing,
etc. PT and OT staff come into the gym with individual students for
their p.e. time. OT share sensory integration ideas and needs for
individual students that I include in my a.p.e. program, as well as PT
needs for individuals. We meet as support staff to discuss ideas about
how to better help individuals, exchange information on what is working
well, or what problems need to be addressed. Our students benefit most
when we are all working together and sharing information on a regular
basis.

Subject: adapt-talk: Writing APE Goals
From: Moewales@aol.com
Subject: Writing Goal
I write my own goals for my adapted p.e. classes. I do get together
with
physical therapist so we don't write similar goals. We don't run
classes
together only because it is kind of frowned upon. The classroom
teachers
like having both physical education and having the OT and PT take
specific
kids and working with them (because of the behavior problems with many
of
the children I work with) at different times.
Sometimes, the OT and PT will work in my class with a specific student.
I
love
that as most of the 25 students I have at the elementary level are one
on one.
I wish we could work as a motor development team - that would be ideal.
I work at the elementary schools in the morning and at the high school
in the
afternoons. The high school is much easier because it seems the kids
have outgrown most of the bad behaviors I see at the elementary schools.
I hope we start to see more letters into adapt-talk. I would love to be
able
to talk to others with similar concerns as mine.
