ADAPTED PHYSICAL EDUCATION: EveryBODY Wins is one of the nation’s first distance learning courses. A team of educational field consultants have given their writings and designs to engineers who created simple, affordable blueprints for adaptive devices. The course includes:

Video presentations and demonstrations of teachers using adaptive devices with special needs students; A CD Rom with useable blueprints developed by volunteer engineers at Rockwell International; Special modules called Toys from Trash and High Tech Toys developed by Iowa instructors; A special segment on strategies to use with autistic students; A study guide with practical application assignments; A current textbook with related readings.

As a special feature you’ll receive a CD that contains blueprints for making simple, affordable adaptive physical education devices.

Those who enroll will receive a Study Guide with readings and activities that expand concepts presented. There are no tests or final papers. Instead, there are application assignments for each segment that require you to summarize, design a plan or demonstrate comprehension of a new idea. Upon completion, your coursework and videotapes or DVD should be sent immediately to Drake University’s Distance Learning Center for grading. Coursework in graded continuously throughout the semester and is graded in the order in which it is received.
