Abstract

Inclusion of students with disabilities in general physical education (GPE) is largely reliant on teachers’ knowledge of disability and perceived competence to teach students with disabilities. The Paralympic School Day (PSD) is a field-tested educational model from the International Paralympic Committee consisting of activities that educate students and teaches about parasport, individual diversity, and disability challenges to raise awareness and understanding of individuals with disabilities. Similarly, the sport education model (SEM) can increase awareness and differentiate opportunities for students with disabilities to learn and engage in GPE. The PSD model in conjunction with SEM will help educate and enhance teacher’s competence to effectively implement inclusion in their GPE setting. This article will explain the PSD and SEM models and their alignment, outline strategies to incorporate PSD into a SEM season, and provide a sample disability sport unit plan incorporating PSD and SEM.
